Research Paper Outline (20 points):

Students will write an outline of their research paper (See an example under Information and Content). The outline should contain a cover page, a Reference Page, a working title; a thesis statement, which summarizes the major point you want to make for the paper; and then the rest of the outline supports the thesis statement based on your research. Then list headings for your main sections and use Roman numerals starting with the Introduction. You will then have other headings to highlight the major points (use Roman numerals). You will create subheadings for all of the major headings in the outline, except the Introduction. Then end with the Conclusion, which will summarize and restate the thesis statement. At the end of the paper, you will have a Reference Page with proper APA reference citations. You will find a sample outline under Information on the left hand column of the course room – then Assignment.
