Outline of Final Paper
Review the Final Paper instructions in Week Five of the online course or in the “Components of Course Evaluation” section of this guide. Then, visit the Ashford Writing Center located under Learning Resources tab on the left navigation tool bar in our online classroom. Format your outline for the Final Paper according to the “Sample Outline.” (NOTE: In the “Sample Outline,” it states that the thesis statement is the last one to three sentences of the Introduction. However, the thesis statement must be one sentence in length and the last sentence of the Introduction).
The outline must include:
- Introduction with thesis statement
- An outline of 5 body paragraphs as demonstrated in the Writing Center’s template
- Conclusion
- Reference Page
The paper must be three to five pages in length and formatted according to APA style. You must use at least four scholarly resources (which can be found in the Ashford Online Library) other than the textbook to support your claims and subclaims. Cite your resources in text and on the reference page. For information regarding APA samples and tutorials, visit the Ashford Writing Center, within the Learning Resources tab on the left navigation toolbar.
Carefully review the Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment.
