Full Sentence
Outline:
The full sentence

difference, as the title suggests, is that full sentences are required at each
level of the outline. This outline is most often used when preparing a
traditional essay.
Thesis Statement:
Questions/Issues
Being Addressed:
I.

global warming.

gas emissions are widely identified by the scientific community to be harmful
(Smith, 2014).

burning of coal and fossil fuels are the primary releasers of
hazardous
greenhouse gases.
Full sentence
outlines are often accompanied with an current APA reference list on a separate
page. Quotes within the outline must also utilize current APA format with in-text
citations.
Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality
via the Turnitin plagiarism tool. The tool is a starting point for instructors
to check overall Academic Integrity and higher scores generally indicate a
higher probability of Academic Misconduct. The higher a score, the higher the
probability that there are too many quotations included in the narrative,
and/or there are passages that have not been properly cited.
