Integration Paper Outline with Main Points/SubheadingsIntegration Paper Outline with Main Points/SubheadingsIntegration Paper Outline with Main Points/Subheadings
If you have never developed an outline of a paper, here are a few pointers to get you started and a helpful link below:
Links to an external site.Note: You may use either an alphanumeric or decimal outline, as long as it is clear to me where each paragraph or subsection begins and ends.
You do not have to include full sentences in your outlines, but it should be obvious what you plan to discuss.
References and outlines: I prefer that you put the references (e.g., Smith & Wesson, 2016) within your outline too, in order to demonstrate that you are using sources to back up your claims. Outlines also allow you to see how you are using sources throughout your paper. You can see where you have gaps in your reasoning and unsupported claims. Finally, you should know by now if you plan to use quotes in any part of your paper, so you should include those in your outline too along with the page # and source as a reminder to include those in the paper. I suggest you use no more than 1 quote in your paper!

HOW YOU WILL BE GRADED ON THE 3 GUIDELINES
2.2: Demonstrate psychological literacy
To get full credit you will show that you found more than 8 peer-reviewed sources central to your question and know how to use them to address your question or purpose. Your sources seem ideally suited to address your question. (5 points)
If you have 8 high-quality peer-reviewed sources and demonstrate a plan for how they support your question or purpose then you have met the expectation. Your sources seem adequate to address your question. (3-4 points)
If you have fewer than 8 peer-reviewed sources or were not able to demonstrate how at least 8 of them relate to your question then you have not met the expectation. Your sources are insufficient to address your question. (0-2 points)
2.3 Engage in innovative and integrative thinking and problem solving.
To get full credit you need to demonstrate that you can integrate ideas from multiple sources in a way that addresses different aspects of your research question or purpose. This should be evident within your outline in multiple sections and go beyond simplistic comparison or description. You must show that you can use your own problem-solving skills to find unique or previously unidentified connections, contradictions, or applications from separate sources. (5)
To meet the expectation, you should integrate ideas from multiple sources at least once and show problem-solving skills to identify and describe connections, contradictions or applications from separate sources. (3-4)
Failure to do more than just describe information from sources without regard for how they fit with other sources would not meet the expectation. (0-2)
4.1 Demonstrate effective writing for different purposes
Effective writing is writing which has a logical flow of ideas and is cohesive. This means it holds together well because there are links between sentences and paragraphs and ideas are supported by credible sources or sound reasoning. It is also effective because it uses appropriate grammar, spelling and punctuation. While an outline may not include full sentences, it should show a clear organizational structure with no gaps in logic or unsupported ideas.
Full credit will be given for an outline that is easy to follow and detailed enough so that another reader could use it to write your paper if they were handed your sources. (5)
You will be meeting the expectation if a reader can see where you are going with your paper and is able to see that you have sources to support all your major ideas. (3-4)
If the outline leaves me confused or reveals major gaps in your reasoning or otherwise seems to fall short of addressing your research question or purpose then you have failed to demonstrate effective writing. (0-2)
