What is a good summary?

By now, you should know what a good, well-written summary is - you have been writing summaries since the beginning of the year.  However, I will provide an example below.

In today's lesson, we covered conditional statements and the converse of a conditional statement.  A conditional statement is a statement written in the "if-then" form which contains two parts, a hypothesis and a conclusion.  The "if" part is the hypothesis and the "then" part is the conclusion. The converse of a conditional statement is simply formed by switching the hypothesis and conclusion. 

For example,

Conditional Statement:  If you post a summary on this blog, then you will receive five extra points.
Converse:  If you receive five extra points, then you will post a summary on this blog.

    Summary: The main concept of today's class was based on Mr. Contreras' way of earning extra credit points. Unlike most classes, his format is done via the usage of a computer, reflecting on the 46 minutes spent in his classroom. It will be a success considering the fact that he has used an attention getting alternative, not solving irrelevant work problems on a sheet of paper.
