3. Outline: Minimum 300 words
The Code of Ethics and Evaluation Paper is a significant project
for this course. To stay on track, this assignment asks
you to create an outline. Please review the Course Project in
Unit VII, titled Code of Ethics and Evaluation Paper. An
outline is a great way to organize the ideas that you want to
communicate within a paper, or any form of writing.
For your outline, include the following:
1. Identify the topic. The topic of your paper is important. Try
to sum up the point of your paper in one sentence or
phrase that is original and topic focused, well developed, and
thought provoking. This will help your paper stay
focused on the main point.
2. Identify the main categories. What main points will you
cover? The introduction usually introduces all of your main
points, should flow logically, and is effectively linked to the
main topic. Then the rest of paper can be spent
developing those points.
3. Create the first category. What is the first point you want to
2. cover? If the paper centers around a complicated
term, a definition is often a good place to start. For a paper
about a particular theory, giving the general
background on the theory can be a good place to begin.
4. Create subcategories. After you have the main point, create
points under it that provide support for the main point.
The number of subcategories that you use depends on the
amount of information you are going to cover; there is
no right or wrong number to use as long as each point is
compelling or persuasive in support of the main
category. Keep in mind there are 15 content areas to the course
project.
By convention, each category consists of a minimum of two
entries. If your first category is Roman numeral I, your outline
must also have a category labeled Roman numeral II; if you
have a capital letter A under category I, you must also have a
capital letter B. Whether you then go on to have capital letters
C, D, E, is up to you, depending on the amount of material
you are going to cover. You are required to have a minimum of
two of each numbered or lettered categories.
Example:
I. First main category
A. First subcategory
B. Second subcategory
II. Second main category
A. First subcategory
B. Second subcategory
4. Case Study: Minimum 500 words
