For Week 3 Project Report Outline Activity, you will submit the outline for your written project report using an alphanumeric outline format (see the example in Figure 5.3). This outline will represent the title of the paper, main headings, sub-headings and brief details you plan to include in your final paper. For your outline, use combination headings (see Figure 12.8) The outline should be presented in the order you intend to present the topics in your paper. Your outline should include the main ideas in the Roman Numerals such as:
Introduction (see pp. 495 -496)
Body (or Findings and Analysis) (see pp. 496 – 497)
Conclusions (see p. 497)
Recommendations (see p. 497)
If this is your first time writing an outline, please remember to review the outline guidelines in chapter 5 of your textbook.
Remember to spell-check and proofread your work! Failure to follow these steps will negatively impact your grade.
For this course, you will submit the graded activity using Turnitin. An Originality Report will become available within a few minutes after your first submission. Inside the Originality Report will be a Similarity Index. The Similarity Index shows a percentage of the material in your paper which matches other sources found by Turnitin. You will be expected to have a Similarity Index of less than 15%. If your Similarity Index is greater than 15% you will need to review your Originality Report to be sure that you have paraphrased your work appropriately, and cited your sources correctly.
The Originality Report will help you to avoid plagiarism and improve the quality and content of your essay. It is strongly suggested that you keep direct quotations to a minimum, and never copy and paste text without proper citations. You have until the activity due date to resubmit your work, however, there will be a 24-hour delay before the Originality Report becomes available. It is your responsibility to submit your activity on time, with a Similarity Index of less than 15%.
