In a summary, there is no room for direct quotes; it’s a like a movie trailer, not a scene-by-scene outline
Assessment includes statement about creator/author/presenter’s expertise (I expect to see Levitin’s criteria addressed)
Reflection includes critical thinking about the information’s value to general population; we call this the “So What” – why does this content matter?
NO copy/paste from sources – put it all in your own words
NO AI-generated text or content
