outline for a term paper

MSE 227 Term Paper Outline

What is it? – 

A 1 page paper that demonstrates you have:

a topic,

the structure (organization)

very brief information for the paper sections, and

the specific sources (references)

 
What is its purpose? –
•    The outline is to show that you have started working on your paper.
•    That you know what you will discuss (sections/subtopics) and where you can find this information (sources and complete references).
•    It is important that you learn how to research and how to find relevant technical information for your paper.
•    The topic you select must be listed on the Moodle site and first PowerPoint (introduction to the course). You will not receive credit if topic is from a previous semester and has specifically been removed from the term paper list.
•    I must be able to locate your sources based on listed references. References must be properly formatted for the outline and final paper.
 

Below is an example of the basic structure and length for the outline.

You have to provide detailed information such as what is your topic, very briefly what will be discussed in each section, and specific references, properly formatted.

This is a technical report; provide relevant content, omit the use of “I” and “we”.
Start early. Don’t wait until the last minute.

Outline Sections (to include if appropriate)
