CSIS 496 - Detailed Outline & Final Written Tutorial

Section Numbering Format

You are to use a format similar to the one shown below for numbering the sections / subsections for both the detailed outline and final written tutorial. Note that, in my example below, the major section titles are in bold and subsection titles are in italics. You should pick a similar scheme from the heading styles of your word processor or define your own styles for section / subsection titles as long as you are consistent with respect to formatting. Note also that each Subsection Title is flush with the left margin and that the numbering scheme is hierarchical. These two features are required in whatever styles you choose. The subsection titles which I chose for the Background Section are totally arbitrary and are not required in your paper.
