You need to have an introduction, and a conclusion in the outline. You also need to include a thesis, so that whoever reads your argument will know what you're trying to argue before they actually start reading.

I think this is a good project,and as a suggestion, you should try to get more recent examples as well as historical examples to prove that the trend has not changed, or has changed.

I think this is a good start, but it is very vague. You all should narrow your topic down and be more concisely so that the reader understands what you are trying to achieve.

This is a great topic. You will be able to find some great statistics on this topic that will support your argument.

Yeah, when in doubt, do more, not less. It would have been best for you to do this outline like the last one, if you didn't know what to do. You have no excuse for not knowing. I posted directions in the pod labeled "Important Directions" in the online classroom for you to download. I have spent many hours in the online classroom answering questions. Any of you three could have logged on for five minutes and asked.

Terrence and Alex, where are your comments? The semester is almost over. If you slack now, you will undo everything you have worked for.

Remember, if you do everything I ask, when I ask, the way I ask. You get a B for being slightly above average. What do you think you get if you don't do those things?
