Rubric for Evaluating Executive Summaries

I will be looking at the following aspects when I grade your Executive Summaries:

• Content. You should summarize the key points for all important sections. The main conclusions should be included. There should be no new information included-only what is included in the original book or report. The final heading and paragraph(s) should provide your rationale for why the book should be read by top executives interested in improving their interpersonal communication competence at work. Copying from external sources is strongly prohibited and will be severely penalized.

• Organization. The summary should follow the main points of the book or report in the order in which they originally appear. There should be subheadings so that the reader can clearly know how the book or report is divided.

• Mechanics. Appropriate headings should be used, and there should be no grammar or spelling error. Summaries are written in block style (that means no indentation) and single-spaced with two spaces between paragraphs. Your writing should be clear and consist of short, concise paragraphs. Writing should be simple, avoiding jargon, acronyms, and technical terms. The summary must not ramble.
