In essence, the entire content summarizes all the main ideas, arguments and abstractions within the text into a shorter passage a fraction of its original length, in order to provide insight into the original author's thesis. The writer of the pr\u00E9cis is careful to avoid copying any direct wording from the original text in order to avoid academic plagiarism, except in short passage quotations where necessary."@en . . . .

The pr\u00E9cis is a common assignment in the humanities and liberal arts streams in higher education. Typical lengths are less than 500 to 1500 words. The majority of higher education students find the pr\u00E9cis to be a useful analytical format and tool. Its use also extends to interdisciplinary formats, and is sometimes also identified as a rhetorical pr\u00E9cis."@en . "4322"^^ . . . . .
