Writing an Abstract for your Thesis

Many students do not know how to write a clear abstract, but most can identify a bad one.  The following web tutorial will teach you what an abstract is, what goes into a good one, and how to write an abstract that is clear and useful.  When you have finished the tutorial, you may submit your own abstract to the CyberTutor.

The whole tutorial will take about 30 minutes. Begin by reading and ranking four sample abstracts.
