Outline

My outline is an aide to organize or plan my research so I can efficiently develop my paper. I will reference the Topic or Sentence section from the University of Arkansas at Fayatteville to recognize how I am expected to format my research outline. I will click on the aforementioned link If I desire more information I may refer to Franklin University to understand how to work Outlining.

If I am uncertain of how to organize the research or notes for my paper, I can reference Dartmouth College's Organizing and Arranging Thoughts and Argument, University of Toronto's Organizing and Essay or, the University of North Carolina's Writing center regarding Paragraphs.

When I upload my outline it will be posted as text to this page, not as a Microsoft Word document.
