etc.), you should identify and gather information from at least
three good research sources. Use what you learned from your
textbook (Chapter 5) and the Week 4 class discussion to help
you find good sources.

points. A thoughtfully-prepared outline will help you organize

all required elements of the project in a logical manner. Each
body section of your outline must include cited, researched
support from quality sources found in the academic databases.

likely use more in your final project since you are continuing to
research and learn.
You must also include an APA-formatted title page and a
references page listing all the sources you cited in the body of
your outline.

what to research and how to write your properly APA formatted
title page, outline and references page. Your outline can be
similar to the model, but you should rewrite it in first person.
Substitute the words and phrasing in this outline with ideas that
reflect an overview of your project and the details you will
include. EX: Change II. Your program area and intended
career field to II. My Program: Justice Administration; My
Career Goal: FBI Agent. You may add lines or condense
sections in the model outline as you see fit.
Please remember that you must research and use source material
to back up what you say. All sections marked on the model
template with asterisks (*) should include researched
information and parenthetical in-text citations.
