Term+Paper+Outline+how+to

===The following is an example of an outline. Each Roman numeral means a new paragraph that is begun with a new topic sentence. Each paragraph should have a minimum of three facts within it; those make up the A. B. C. bullet points.=== ===For the outline, do not double space like you would on a paper, but do use Times New Roman 12 just like in your paper. Note that 9 is sort of a small number of paragraphs for an 8 page paper, 11-12 paragraphs is a better bet.===
