Assignment Instructions
Research Paper:

The topic for your research paper can be anything pertaining to port security. However, you must clear your topic with me before proceeding. If you prefer, I will assign a topic for you just let me know.

Here are a few suggested topics: Piracy, Port Facility Operations, Maritime Transportation System, Organized Crime, United States Coast Guard, Customs and Border Protection. If you pick one of these you still must clear with me before proceeding.

You are to prepare your paper in a word document (Times New Roman, Font 12-double space) using APA style format (“Resources” and APA info attached below). Your research paper should be 10-12 pages of content excluding your title page and reference list (“Abstract” required). A minimum of 10 outside references required. Additionally, you are to include a Title page and Bibliography page. Your research paper must be an original work and you cannot recycle a paper that you prepared and submitted to any other class (refer to your “student handbook” for the University plagiarism policy).

Turnitin:

When you submit your paper it will be automatically sent to Turnitin and checked for plagiarism. It is important that you closely review your Turnitin report and similarity score. No amount of copying is acceptable (allowance for references, footnotes, and quotes). Quotes should not consist of more than 10% of your content. I am looking for your own thoughts in your own words so I do not want to see excessive cited material. However, cited references used to support your work must be properly cited in Turabian style format. Contact instructor with an explanation of a similarity score over 30% which may indicate plagiarism.

Please follow these requirements and format to optimize your grade points. This paper is due at the end of week 6 as indicated in the syllabus. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.
