In a nutshell, I worked closely with a professor on a midterm paper worth a substantial percentage of my grade. I sent him a first draft, which he said was very solid, and we discussed in detail what tweaks I could make to improve the paper. He signed off on all my suggested changes, and I implemented them pretty much exactly as we discussed.
Is this the correct time to start outlining? how do I start?
I’ve been hearing a lot of mixed things. Some people have already started their outline and are up to date with all the class content, others have said they did not start yet and will not start for a while. also, how do I start my outline? So far, I have the basic layout based on the textbook table of contents/syllabus but I’m kind of confused on how much information I’m supposed to put. Should it be based on my reading notes, class notes or both? TIA! submitted by /u/dontknowwhattdo [link] [comments]
