\nThe university threshold for similarity, meaning your paper

\nthan 25% will require an additional review by your instructor. If it is
\nsubsequently determined to be plagiarism, the student will receive a failing
\ngrade and could face an academic discipline board. Additionally, no more than 30%
\npercent of your paper can be quoted material<\/span>.<\/span> Anything higher will
\nbe viewed as someone else\u2019s work. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Topic.<\/span><\/span> Your topic must relate to our
\ncourse. I know this is broad, but I have made it this way by design. Pick a
\ntopic that you are interested in. I suggest you come up with a few possible
\noptions and then look at the number of resources you can access. Based on your
\nfindings go with the topic that makes the most sense. There is nothing worse
\nthan writing on a topic that does not interest you. <\/span><\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/span><\/span> I do not want in an informational –
\nhistory paper. Your topic needs to take a position, it must analyze the topic
\nand provide for potential options in accordance with the position you have
\ntaken. An example topic could be something along these lines “Is the U.S.
\nImmigration Policy consistent with Social Justice”. You would then present
\nyour position; say you think it is not consistent \u2013 then make that argument.
\nHowever, you must also provide the opposing view, why would people say it is
\nconsistent with social justice. Close with why your position is the correct
\nposition. <\/span><\/p>\n

Submitting
\na Topic.<\/span><\/span> Please submit your title along with a short
\nabstract and basic outline. I will approve or give you feedback to adjust. See
\nthe example attached.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Length.<\/span><\/span>
\nRegarding the length, you must be able to address your topic adequately enough
\nas to bring your topic full circle. It is very challenging to do so in the
\nprescribe length. Do not exceed<\/span> the page limit per the syllabus. <\/span><\/p>\n

Number of sources<\/span><\/span>. What I have put in this syllabus is
\na guide. I will not be counting specific types of sources. Just ensure you have
\nan appropriate number of sources to ensure balance in your approach. They do
\nneed to be scholarly \u2013 reputable.  <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Citing<\/span><\/span>. Use the Purdue Online Writing Lab
\nfor the format. You can also leverage sites such as
\n<\/span>http:\/\/www.citationmachine.net\/<\/span> . Failure to cite works properly is the biggest
\nissue students have. Well, that and not having someone proofread their paper. You
\nneed to spend time making sure you do it correctly as the repercussions of
\nfailing to do so can be severe.  <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Similarity
\nRate.<\/span><\/span> What this
\nmeans is your paper cannot be more than 25% similar to any document in the
\nTurnitin database. Anything over 25% is then reviewed for plagiarism. In most
\ncases its not plagiarism, it is a result of not citing the work referenced
\ncorrectly. <\/span><\/p>\n

Quoted material.  <\/span>Your paper cannot have more than 30% quoted
\nmaterial<\/span><\/p>\n
