If a student summarizes another person's point but mixes personal views into it, what is the problem?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The summary becomes less neutral
A summary should represent the original speaker’s main meaning accurately and separately from the summarizer’s judgment. Adding personal opinions can alter emphasis, introduce bias, or make the speaker appear to have said something different. The student should label personal evaluation separately instead of blending it into the summary.
