Today, our class was on making the outlines for the research paper. The outline shapes and organizes the paper. I always prefer to make the outline for any research paper either short or long because it really helps me to do my paper better. It also gives me a rough idea on how my paper will look like. I will be using the traditional outline because it's the easiest comparing to the other ways of doing the outline i.e, the topic sentence outline and the topic sentence and quotation outline.
