Paper outline 7

Final Paper Draft Outline – Week 7 For the second to last homework, you need to submit an outline of your final paper. What does that mean? You need to read the article “Writing for College: What is an Academic Paper” and conceptualize what the paper assignment for this course is about: https://depts.washington.edu/owrc/Handouts/What%20is%20an%20Academic%20Paper.pdf Next, you need to read the “Final Paper Minimum Requirements” to get a sense of how you shall start creating the paper. Think of a topic that you are interest the most – it can be a critical paper, project, applicative hacks – and then apply the instructions from the first two sources indicated. The draft outline needs to answer:

• what is your topic, • what are your main sections in the paper, • what are the preliminary sources you will use, • how you plan to write in each of these sections/use the sources.

The APA, IEEE, or MLA is required for this assignment. Why? You can just use the same document to proceed with actually writing the paper, project report, or the white paper of the hack. You can find the formatting guidelines in the “Paper Guidelines” module in D2L. Once you have finalized your homework, please take a look at the document named “How to Read an Academic Paper” that is also attached together in the same D2L module as the other two. Make sure you read it – it is an excellent and critical tool that you will need in reading the academic sources you plan to build upon in your paper.
