I am looking for critical thinking and demonstrating that you have a grasp of the criminal justice material you are researching. Do not copy and quote large sections of text verbatim, cited or uncited, from the Web or your paper will be severely penalized. See APA style on quoting, summarizing and paraphrasing as I want you to be able to summarize and paraphrase rather than quote. You must cite within the paper per APA standards. Papers submitted to previous classes or other universities are not permitted. I will allow one and only one short (one or two sentences) quote for emphasis, any other quotes will result in point deduction. I want to see your critical thinking skills on display and not a string of quotes written by published authors. So you may quote only for to emphasize a point you are making. Since this is a short college paper do not insert pictures, lists, tables or formulas.
Your analysis must include connections (not one but many connections) to our lessons. A successful paper links class concepts to the paper via APA style citations and references to our lessons and mixing other sources (for validity in writing) discussing what you learned in the class. If you do not connect what you learned in the class to your paper using at least one lesson OER source and other sources in APA style you will be penalized.
When you submit your paper into the “assignment” area as a word doc only it is processed by Turnitin for plagiarism detection.
