• Work should be neat, clean and professional
*FINAL NOTE: I am expecting each outline to ‘look’ this way; however, I realize the amount of information contained within the outline will vary due to each student’s work ethic.
When I evaluate your outline I will be looking for specificity, examples from the text, and your subjective analysis of the information. Vague and superficial outlines will receive considerable point deductions.

BASIC TYPE SPECIFICATIONS:
*NOTE: Include information and EXAMPLES and page numbers…and FOLLOW THIS FORMAT FOR YOUR ENTIRE OUTLINE…
• Times New Roman, 12 point, appropriate spacing when needed
• FULL use of assigned headings and subheadings
• Inclusion of full discussion of chapter topics…weak one to two sentence responses will not suffice. Your responses should be detailed, proofread, specific, and insight. You are permitted to include your subjective perspective. REMEMBER…you are creating this outline for YOU not ME!
• Work should be neat, clean and professional
*FINAL NOTE: I am expecting each outline to ‘look’ this way; however, I realize the amount of information contained within the outline will vary due to each student’s work ethic.
When I evaluate your outline I will be looking for specificity, examples from the text, and your subjective analysis of the information. Vague and superficial outlines will receive considerable point deductions.
