The components of this assignment include your research question, a purpose statement, and a literature review from week 2. Ensure you make all of the changes recommended by your professor for this assignment. The two assignments will be compared to ensure changes are made.
As a reminder, your Week 2 Assignment required:
- Introduce your topic by describing its background and explaining how it relates to the course and your ultimate research question;
- State your specific or combination of CBRN WMD that you want to explore more in-depth that will generate new ideas for WMD planning;
- Offer a brief (one or two-paragraph) purpose statement outlining your approach to the scenario and what you hope to show in your research;
- Complete a literature review of ten sources on the subject you plan to write on. At least 6 of the ten sources must come from peer-reviewed journals. Use APA style in citing your sources.
In this assignment, you will complete your research paper, adding the methodology section, findings & analysis, and conclusions & recommendations sections to the week two assignment. Use the template attached.
At this level, you are learning the core concepts of the discipline, and you will produce a graduate-level paper that presents a research “puzzle” relevant to the subject matter of this class. The paper will be no fewer than 15 pages, not including the cover page, the reference list, or appendices.
Technical Requirements
- Your paper must be at least 15 pages (the Title and Reference pages do not count towards the minimum limit).
- Although a review of ten sources on the subject is required, and at least 6 of the ten sources must come from peer-reviewed journals, additional sources should be used for the remainder of the paper. A good rule of thumb is to use at least two scholarly sources per page of content.
- Type in Times New Roman, 12 point, and double space.
- Students will follow the current APA Style as the sole citation and reference style used in written work submitted as part of coursework.
- Points will be deducted for the use of Wikipedia or encyclopedic-type sources. It is highly advised to utilize books, peer-reviewed journals, articles, archived documents, etc.
- All submissions will be graded using the assignment rubric.
- Hint: look up the APA section header levels and their appropriate format. This is a common mistake for students. For example, the Level 1 headers for this paper will be Introduction, Literature Review, Methodology, Findings & Analysis, and Conclusions & Recommendations. All other headers will be Level
