The Summary provides a brief overview of the substance of the report; usually no more than half a page. It is not an introduction to the topic. The summary should outline all the key features of your report, including the topic, what you did and how you did it, and the main outcomes of your work. A busy manager who might not have time to read the full report should be able to get the gist of the whole report by reading the summary.

The summary:

states the topic of the report
outlines your approach to the task if applicable
gives the most important findings of your research or investigation, or the key aspects of your design
states the main outcomes or conclusions
The summary does NOT

provide general background information
explain why you are doing the research, investigation or design
refer to later diagrams or references
Example summary
This summary is from a report entitled Preliminary Design of a Bridge.

Summary

This report presents a design for a bridge to be constructed on the Calder Freeway crossing Slaty Creek in the Shire of Macedon Ranges.Comments
Topic
Two designs for the bridge were devised and then compared by considering the cost, construction and maintenance of each bridge.Comments
Approach

Key features

A summary is basically a recall of what happen,eg;While tom was on his way home yesterday, he was attacked viciously by a pack of some 30 dogs. summary,eg; Tom was attack by dogs very badly yesterday.in other words your just making a long sentence short about a subjec, but retaining the original meaning of it.eg; Or consider it like a police report of a crime. And evaluation is all about asking questions and making recommendations or suggestions base opan the subject.trying to find out how did it happen. good luck, and study hard.

In N Z you possibly have some expressions that are actually not heard someplace else, not even in Australia. i'm southern English, yet became into in oz..for 3 years interior the early Seventies. Visited N Z around Auckland for some hours on the way homestead from oz..by potential of sea. yet then, what's "English" English or British English? so some distance as i'm worried the North (of britain) is yet another united states of america for language!

Well the evaluation is what you think or what you determine, and your summary is gonna be like the thesis, but putting it in your own words, your own hypothesis. Good luck!!

I think you would be best served by asking your prof for an example paper from another semester so you can really see what is expected. This format seems to be specific to your professor.
