a. introduce my main argument and the scholarly works.
ii. first body paragraph
b. explain what community colleges are portrayed as. why they seem to be beneficial over going to a four-year school right away. i need to gather statistics to to show the money saved from going to community college before attending a major university.
iii. community college as a stepping stone to four-year institutions
c. in this part of my paper i plan on identifying the statistics that i've gathered on the success rates of those students who transfer to four-year schools from community college. These statistics will prove how most students are not prepared coming from a community school rather than transferring from a four year school. in the end these statements will prove how even though its stated that your saving money, in the long run you will most likely need to take extra classes because you either failed or didn't have enough credits transferred.
iv. the aid for the transfer process provided by rutgers needs to it in somewhere in my paper to identify how the transfer process works and to prove that not all classes credit's transfer so it lays out the appropriate courses that you should be taking. in this portion i also plan on putting in information from dean diamond that gives statistics and her view on those students transferring from community colleges to rutgers.
v. Representing community college in fiction
d. community college in fiction is a very big deal because that is the vision that everyone holds to be true because everyone relies on television and advertisements for their main source of information. this topic contradicts the reality of community colleges in real life which is a main contributor in the portrayal of what community college really does and what it is like. In this paragraph i will be comparing the views of community college n fiction and the way it i completely different from the real world.
vi. conclusion
