What does this instruction mean?

Question:With regard to an assignment, my lecturer instructed us to do research and 'integrate' different authors' views instead of summarising them...
What exactly does he want?

Answers:
The instructor wants you to "paraphrase" using your words and their ideas. Be sure to give the original author the credit by adding a reference page. Otherwise, the plagairism could be held against you.
He wants to give out a bunch of C's.
Compare and contrast the views. Come up with a position that uses the best arguments of each author.
Summarizing would simply be John Q says this. Jane P says this. and on and on. Integrating them would be John Q says this. Similarly, Jane P says this, but differs from John Q in that. . .

Integration involves comparing and contrasting the similarities and differences in the views.
he wants bullshit.
My best guess is that your instructor wants you to bring their ideas/views together, rather than comprehensively review all of them.

My suggestion is that you ask for clarification from your teacher. He/she would be the best one to explain exactly what he/she is looking for.
