  3. Wow. Way to go all out! This is way more detailed than my outline, on the exact same article! But really, you really were able to pull it apart and see the article for the pieces rather than just the whole, so props to you. You must be really good at writing outlines whereas outlines are a painful process that only make paper writing more stressful for me. I like diving into my papers where you seem like you'd put together a well thought out plan. Nice work!
