...4/11/2016 Purdue OWL Welcome to the Purdue OWL This page is brought to you by the OWL at Purdue (https://owl.english.purdue.edu/). When printing this page, you must include the entire legal notice at bottom. Contributors:Elyssa Tardiff, Allen Brizee. Summary: This resource describes why outlines are useful, what types of outlines exist, suggestions for developing effective outlines, and how outlines can be used as an invention strategy for writing. Four Main Components for Effective Outlines Ideally, you should follow the four suggestions presented here to create an effective outline. When creating a topic outline, follow these two rules for capitalization: For firstlevel heads, present the information using all uppercase letters; and for secondary and tertiary items, use upper and lowercase letters. The examples are taken from the Sample Outline handout. Parallelism—How do I accomplish this? Each heading and subheading should preserve parallel structure. If the first heading is a verb, the second heading should be a verb. Example: I. CHOOSE DESIRED COLLEGES II. PREPARE APPLICATION ("Choose" and "Prepare" are both verbs. The present tense of the verb is usually the preferred form for an outline.) Coordination—How do I accomplish this? All the information contained in Heading 1 should have the same significance as the information contained in Heading 2. The same goes for the subheadings (which should be less significant than the headings)...

Defining and framing the Issue –You need to identify the underlying reasons why the issue has arisen in the first place (the ‘why’? question). As part of this, you will need to frame the issue in relation to the current practices with management functions (including supporting theory/theories) that may have contributed to the issue. You should include some consideration of any relevant environmental factors (internal/external) that may have influenced the issue. 3. Addressing the Issue – You need to show how you will address the underlying reasons that have contributed to the issue by outlining changes to the existing practices with the identified management functions (the ‘how’? question). Your arguments need to be supported with reference to theory/theories that endorse the new approach. 4. Conclusion – You need to provide a summary and evaluation of the key findings of the report. You may choose to identify some limitations and/or assumptions associated with the findings that reader of the report should be aware of. 5.

...Consulting Case Memo -- Outline Executive Summary While this section appears first, it should actually be the last thing you write. * The executive summary should be no more than one page. * Executive summaries are not “introductions.” They do not provide background. * Everything discussed in the executive summary should be explained in greater detail in the body of the memo. * If the only thing someone reads is your executive summary, your reader should have a good understanding of the problem, your proposal, the most important cost(s), and the most important benefit(s). Problem Statement Identify the problem in business terms. State clearly why the owner, president, or CEO should care about addressing the problem you’ve identified. Proposed Solution Identify the one most important action the company or organization needs to take to address the problem. Be as specific as possible in describing your solution. Costs of the Proposal Be as inclusive as possible when thinking about costs. Consider things like opportunity costs and the impact of the proposed change on the organization’s culture in addition to the more obvious financial costs. Identify every possible objection to your proposal. Why hasn’t the company already taken this step? The quickest way to have your recommendation rejected is to hear an objection to which you must reply, “I hadn’t thought of that.” Benefits of the Proposal How will your specific proposal address the problem you’ve...

...JoAnn Warnamally CFS176 38378 04/30/14 HPV Vaccine Article Summary After reading the article about the debate on whether or not middle school girls should be required to be vaccinated against HPV, I thought about what I would want if it was my child. I have a daughter who is 20. She was vaccinated in high school for HPV. I didn't think it was a mistake then and I still don't. I think preventative measures make sense. If I can do something to possibly prevent getting cancer in the future, I am for it. The vaccination has an excellent safety record also. However, I am against a mandate for the vaccination. I don't think a person should be forced to do something they don't believe in. A person should be able to have a say in what goes into his or her body. For young children, I think the decision to vaccinate should be left up to the parents. I also don't believe that getting a vaccination will lead to promiscuity. Even though the vaccination will protect against sexually transmitted diseases, it does not prevent pregnancy, which is a main reason a girl might think twice before having sex. I think that many teens engage in impulsive behavior and will have sex regardless of whether or not they have been vaccinated. At least then they will have been protected from sexually transmitted diseases. The disease and cancer prevention are very positive aspects of getting vaccinated. and because the safety record of the vaccine is so good, I feel it is worth the risk. I would...

...Good and poor examples of executive summaries This is a GOOD example from an Accounting & Finance assignment. Footnote Executive Summary This report provides an analysis and evaluation of the current and prospective profitability, liquidity and financial stability of Outdoor Equipment Ltd. Methods of analysis include trend, horizontal and vertical analyses as well as ratios such as Debt, Current and Quick ratios. Other calculations include rates of return on Shareholders Equity and Total Assets and earnings per share to name a few. All calculations can be found in the appendices. Results of data analysed show that all ratios are below industry averages. In particular, comparative performance is poor in the areas of profit margins, liquidity, credit control, and inventory management. The report finds the prospects of the company in its current position are not positive. The major areas of weakness require further investigation and remedial action by management.Recommendations discussed include: improving the average collection period for accounts receivable· improving/increasing inventory turnover· reducing prepayments and perhaps increasing inventory levels The report also investigates the fact that the analysis conducted has limitations.

...2016). Human papilloma virus (HPV) is sexually transmitted and of the hundreds varieties of HPV, eighteen types are directly linked to cervical cancer. The HPV 16 and 18 strains are the most carcinogenic HPV and have the highest percentage in the development of cervical cancer. Other than the high-risk HPV types infection, there are also other contributing risk factors that predispose an individual to the disease, which include multiple sexual partners, early initiation of sexual intercourse (5 years) of combined hormonal oral contraceptives and tobacco use. Typically, the development of invasive cervical cancer is at least 25-30 years after the primary carcinogenic HPV infection (Mcgraw et al., 2016). The symptomatic presentation of cervical cancer include bleeding after intercourse, bleeding between periods, change in periods, bleeding during pregnancy, pain with intercourse, persistent vaginal discharge, abdominal or pelvic pain or discomfort and unusual fatigue (Lim, Ramirez, Hamilton, Sasieni, Patnick, & Forbes, 2014). In addition to these existing symptoms, women with cervical cancer may also exhibit mental stress as well as physical discomfort, such as vaginal pain, bleeding and infection, as a result from further testing and management of the disease (Mcgraw et al., 2016). Obstetrics and Gynecologist use several procedures to diagnose their patients. These include: history and physical exam, pelvic exam, cervical cytology (Pap smear), HPV test, colposcopy and biopsy...
