Healthcare Informatics Outline Assignment 5

You are to complete a full sentence outline in preparation for the Research Project – Draft. The outline cannot be completed until your topic receives approval from the instructor. The outline must include a thesis statement, the research topic(s) being addressed, how much space will be allotted for each section of the paper, and a preliminary reference list of at least 10 sources (all of which must be less than 10 years old).

Instructions

For this assignment, you are to use the references from the Annotated Bibliography. You are to use full sentences (one – two sentences). Please avoid copying and pasting everything that you are planning to include into the project paper in the outline.

The outline should be simple and readable to show each section of the paper and the topic to be covered. The following are things to consider with completing the outline:

What to consider in the Outline:

1. What is the topic?

2. Why is it significant?

3. What background material is relevant?

4. What is my thesis or purpose statement?

5. What organizational plan will best support my purpose?

6. How much space is estimated per section?

Also include the elements noted on the Research Project – Final Document Instructions.

Full Sentence Outline:

The full sentence outline format is essentially the same as the alphanumeric outline. The main difference (as the title suggests) is that full sentences are required at each level of the outline. This outline is most often used when preparing a traditional essay.

Example of the Full Sentence Outline Structure:

Thesis Statement:

Question(s)/Issues Begin Addressed:

Outline:

I. Man-made pollution is the primary cause of global warming.

A. Greenhouse gas emissions are widely identified by the scientific community to be harmful (Smith, 2014).

1. The burning of coal and fossil fuels are the primary releasers of hazardous greenhouse gases.

Full sentence outlines are often accompanied with an APA reference list on a separate page. Quotes within the outline must also utilize in-text citations in current APA format.

ORDER CUSTOM, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPER

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
