Outline Guidelines

The following is a 4-step process to get you to a good outline; however, you do not need to type out all these steps (except step 1 which should be completed on your prewriting). This process is what your mind should go through with your topic in order to write an acceptable outline. The only thing that has to be written out is the brainstorm list (step 1) and the actual sentence outline (step 4).

1. Brainstorm a list of examples:

    • Prayer groups and church are not required
    • Televisions are allowed in dorm rooms

2. Group examples into subheadings:

The dress code at Liberty

Food choices at Liberty

The Rules at Liberty

 

3. Add opinions or observations to subheadings to make complete sentences:

The dress code at Liberty has relaxed.

The food choices at Liberty have expanded.

The rules at Liberty are less strict.

 

4. Create an outline for yourself to follow that uses the subheadings as main points and the examples as subpoints. (Outline MUST have 3 main points—it does not have to have 4 like the sample—and must have at least an A & a B under each main point):

At his four noon-time visits, he records the following service times in minutes. Do all the restaurants have the same mean service time? (Use a = 0.05)

The editor-in-chief of a major metropolitan newspaper has been trying to convince the paper’s owner to improve the working conditions in the pressroom. He is convinced that the noise level when the presses are running creates unhealthy levels of tension and anxiety. He recently had a psychologist conduct a test during which press operators were placed in rooms with varying levels of noise and then given a test to measure mood and anxiety levels. The following table shows the index of their degree of arousal or nervousness and the level of noise to which they were exposed (1.0 is low and 10.0 is high):
