I don’t think it matters as long as you are consistent and decide in advance on a system and stick with it. Also be consistent with the number of spaces before and after each level. Here is the Harvard Outline scheme

History of the Vietnam War

I. Vietnam as part of French Indochina
A. 19th Century imperialism

1.Berlin conference, 1890
a. Africa
b. Chinese concessions
c. Southeast Asia

2. Restored French national pride after German defeat
3. Built up the French business classes after Napoleon III

B. Tin and rubber industries
C. Revolutionary insurgencies emerge after 1900
D. Ho Chi Minh and other French-educated Marxists

II. Ho Chi Minh and the Vietminh Coalition
A.
B.

III. World War II and Japanese Occupation
IV. Vietmanese Declaration of Independence

I know all this already but what comes after the number…a lowercase letter. What comes after the lowercase letter though? Is it a lowercase Roman Numeral?

Interesting thought! You have covered almost all part of the the Outline method. However one thing I would like to is that “Outlining records content as well as relationships. Outlining also reduces editing. Your notes are easy to review by turning main points into questions.” 5 tips to take great usable notes- 1. Make clear and accurate notes, 2. Minimize distractions, 3. Come to class prepared, 4. Organize your notes, 5. Use abbreviations and symbols.

I have learned the above 5 important points of note taking from a book Secrets SMART Study System offered by 4 hour study week. It helps to learn the power-napping techniques and sleeping habits that will instantly boost your focus, creativity and ability to learn and memorize better. More importantly it helps a student to secure better grades in the class.

Well Vanessa if you curse then you ARE stupid because you obviously don’t know how to express your feelings. Its not good to curse. And you won’t be stupid if you don’t curse thank you. But yes, you’re right that this is useful.
