What are Abstracts?
Abstracts are brief summaries of the overall goal of an offering and the specific ideas, concepts or experiences that will be presented, including outcomes and implications for further research and practice.
Abstracts essentially answer four questions:
1. What was the problem?
2. How did the author(s) solve the problem?
3. What was discovered as a result of the research or practice?
4. What can be generalized or learned from the experience?
