Example 2 is almost identical to how I take notes for all of my classes. This organization style is possibly the most important skill I learned in high school and has only increased in value though this class. I also used this formatting style for my short proposal and my progress report to help organize the relevant information.

Grammar Girl’s post offered really great advice for me. I had originally included commas and used “and” after the next to last bullet, but after learning that this was not considered correct, I definitely made sure to remove them. Using bullet points is a really good technique when listing expected elements in a paragraph without being forced to write an example of that paragraph.

I found it funny that the University of Minnesota’s Accessible U resource was formatted mainly in bulleted lists. The example in this post, the I-765, makes it quite clear why bulleted lists work better. A sense of progression is immediately conveyed by the list while a large paragraph doesn’t have that property. Lists also have parallelism, which makes them very easy to read.
