  • Building the Outline Experience

    $5.00

    FIRST: In this Discussion forum, please discuss your experience building the outline that will serve as the basis for the forthcoming final paper of your review/plan/paper/proposal. What were some of the challenges you encountered in drafting your outline? What resources did you consult to refresh your memory about the type of project you are undertaking (i.e., literature review, program plan, program evaluation, policy analysis paper, or research proposal)? How might you locate information of this sort down the road once you have graduated?

    SECOND: In this Discussion forum, please discuss the process of transforming your outline into the final paper of your review/plan/paper/proposal. To what extent was your outline helpful as you began to write? Explain your response. Were you to do it again, would you structure your outline difficulty differently? How so? Did you find it necessary at any point to deviate from your outline to prepare your paper? Why was this so?
