Writing in CS -- Part II Outline

Part II sample outline


Your Title (come on, think of something jazzy to lure the reader into your page!)

Summary

Your summary goes here. It MUST be well-written since this is going to be read by lots of people (not just your professor!). Use grammar and spell checkers on your writing and have someone proof-read it BEFORE you turn it in. Remember, it might sound good to you, but why not make sure, ok?

NOTE: Do NOT include your opinion here. (You'll have a chance for that later.) Explain the issue succintly but don't forget to explain alternate viewpoints! Perhaps a PRO's and CON's breakdown?


Educational Importance

Here you want to explain why an educated person should be informed about this topic and thus why they should keep reading!
