Assignment:
Your individual project effort is a research paper based on your choice of title within one of the following areas of exploration. ( "Passenger transportation security or cargo transportation security.")
You determine the title and content of your research. The project paper must be submitted in MS Word format, with a MINIMUM of four or more discussion pages (discussion body) plus title and reference pages. Use single line spacing (blank lines only after paragraphs) and twelve-point Times Roman font. Margins for page setup are one inch on all four sides. Less than the minimum four discussion pages will result in a significant loss of point value. Independent of content, the failure or ignorance of this basic formatting and length of the project paper will graded no higher than a 99 of 125 possible points, which is a C+. Not helpful!
The individual project grading rubric includes eight subsets: substance, organization, presentation, cognitive progression of ideas, ability to communicate, timeliness of examples, logical support for conclusions and cited research materials verification.
A helpful idea is to enlist the expertise of the eWriting Center at the University as a guidance source and independent check to maximize the impact of the project.
