Instruction
write ABOUT Cyber Crime issue has implications for the National Security Enterprise and discuss why you
BE CLEAR ABOUT HOW THE ISSUE RELATES TO NATIONAL SECURITY (i.e., it cannot simply be a law enforcement or
homeland security issue). The issue can be the same topic you presented during your in-class presentation, but it does not have to be the same.
In this essay, you should clearly state:
the issue - explain the issue to an audience who you can assume is educated, but unfamiliar with the topic;
why the National Security Enterprise should pay attention to this issue;
the objective facts that support your position; and
any other viewpoint(s), as well as why they are not as good/accurate/etc. as your position.
Citation style: Does not matter; pick one, do it correctly, and remain consistent throughout the paper. Be sure you cite every quote and every source of
information. If you plagiarize parts of your essay, it will be an automatic failure of the assignment; if you plagiarize the majority of the paper, it will be an
automatic failure of the course. All instances of plagiarism will be reported to the university. Lack of understanding is not an excuse. If you are unsure
whether something you are writing constitutes plagiarism, ask me before you submit the paper. Once the paper is submitted, it is assumed you are
claiming everything as your own work.
Length: No set length. Take as much--or little--space as required to adequately address all of the points in the grading guidelines, below. Think in the
neighborhood of 7 pages justrite what is important double-spaced pages, but do not take this literally. How well you address the topic is more important than length. Do not put in
"fluff" language to lengthen your paper, increase the margins of the page to greater than 1" all around, or use larger than 12-pt type
