    The document provides guidelines for constructing an outline. It recommends putting the thesis at the top of the outline. Subpoints at the same level should use consistent grammar and tenses, and full sentences should be used when possible. A conventional numbering system like Roman numerals and letters should be followed. Outlines should have at least two items per level and use as few major sections as possible, clustering items into broader categories if the list gets too long.

    CONSTRUCTING AN OUTLINE

    I. Put the thesis at the top.

    A. Make items at the same level have the same grammar/


    tenses.

    B. Use full sentences when possible.

    1. Use the conventional system of numbering (such as


    the one being demonstrated now).

    2. Always include at least two items per level.

    a. Use as few major sections (I., II., III., etc.) as


    possible.

    b. If the list gets too long, try clustering the items


    into broader categories with more subcategories.
