ENC 1102 Research Paper

WHAT IS AN ABSTRACT?

An abstract is a summary of a paper, a book, or a presentation. As a general rule, the abstract is written by the author of the work. Most abstracts are informative.  

ABSTRACT TIPS:

When you write the abstract, you can simply start by “In this presentation, I will…” Then, just state what topic you are researching, why you are researching it, and what topics you are going to cover. Make sure you incorporate in the abstract a couple of sentences about how this research is relevant to changemaking and/or human rights. You can reference which human rights article (https://www.un.org/en/universal-declaration-human-rights/) is relevant to your study. Take five minutes to look at the attributes of changemakers at the MDC website: https://www.mdc.edu/changemaking/. The abstract should be between 100-150 words.
