Formal Ouline
My subject is Autism and the benefits Advance Behavioral
Analysis will have on the disorder.
My thesis statement is "Contrary to what society
may think, the behavior of children can be changed with intense and advanced
behavioral therapy."
Description:
In this 300-500-word, Formal Sentence Online, you will
organize and outline the project that you intend to write about for
your final Research Paper. If your Formal Sentence Outline
is less than the word count, it is likely you have not fully
developed your outline or adhered to the assignment
appropriately, and this lack of development can severely impact your
grade for this assignment. Your outline will include the
elements listed below.
Your Formal Sentence Outline should also include a list of
references in APA style and should adhere to APA convention
throughout for in-text citation and style.
Elements:
Your grade is largely based on your inclusion of the
following elements, as well as your development of the project. For a
model, you might want to refer back to pp. 465-467 of
Strategies for Writing Successful Research Papers. Your outline
must contain the following elements.
1. Cover page and APA formatting:
You should include an APA-style cover page for your Formal
Sentence Outline. See the example on page 16 of
The CSU APA Guide (6th edition). Your cover page should
include the following: the title, your name, and the
name of your university (Columbia Southern University). The
running head should include up to 50 characters from
the title of the paper, along with a sequential page number
in the upper right-hand corner.
The entire outline should be double-spaced throughout,
without additional spaces between sections.
2. Thesis:
The thesis statement should be provided at the beginning of
the outline, and it should be labeled “Thesis,” followed
by a colon. The thesis statement should be an argumentative
statement that embodies the argument of your paper.
Please see the directions for double-checking the
argumentativeness of your thesis statement in the lecture for
Unit V.
When writing your outline, make certain that every topic and
subtopic is written as a complete
sentence. Additionally, it is required to include in-text
citations within your outline. For instance, one of your
subtopics may be a direct quote; therefore, you would place
an in-text citation at the closing of the sentence just
as you would do if it were written in essay form. For
example:
I. Hybrid vehicles are far inferior to our country’s
available technology.
A. Electric cars are more energy efficient and do not have
tailpipe pollutants.
1. Nissan CEO, Carlos Ghosn (2008), states, “I want a pure
electric car. I don't want
a range extender that still uses oil. That is unsustainable”
(para. 2).
Furthermore, any in-text citation will also have a
correlating reference entry listed on the reference page. For the
purpose of this outline, you will only reference the
sources, which have in-text citations to match (in the
outline). In later drafts, you will include every source
that you used in your essay on your reference
page. However, the outline only requires that you reference
sources that were used solely in the outline.
3. Headings and subheadings:
You must include at least four headings in your outline,
indicated by Roman numerals (I, II, III, IV). Each of these
headings must have at least two subheadings, indicated by
capital letters (A, B, C). The best outlines will break
down these subheadings into topics, indicated with numerals
(1, 2, 3). A framework for an outline might look like
the following.
EH 1020, English
Composition II 10
Thesis: Hydrogen cars might be the future’s best hope for an
environment-friendly family vehicle, but the unstable
nature of the hydrogen that powers them is not worth the
risk of personal injury.
I. There have been a number of alternative cars designed in
the last decade, but none that are as efficient
as the hydrogen models. (Heading)
A. Efficiency for alternative car models means production
costs do not exceed the financial strain of
consumers. (Subheading)

4. References:

the example on pages 6, 7, and 21 of The CSU APA
Guide (6th edition). Be sure that all in-text citations have
a corresponding reference citation.
