ESOL Reading 0043: The Formal Outline Exit Project
READ YOUR ASSIGNMENT CAREFULLY! If you do not understand your assignment consult with your professor.
Your assignment requires you to find an academic article on a topic studied in college courses. Your article might be about a topic in politics, history, health, environment, science, economics, business, etc. Since these topics are very broad, think about a very specific topic within these areas. Each article must be at least 6 pages.
Follow the "Tabs" at the top of this Guide to lead you through the steps in selecting a topic and finding an appropriate article for your project.
