\nClass Participation\/Assignment help – Discussion:
\nStudents are expected to have read the assigned materials prior to the weekly module and be able
\nto intelligently respond to questions about and discuss the readings. Points will be based on the
\nfollowing criteria:
\n1. Response to the posted question\/topic within the week of the module keeping in mind
\nthat more than opinion is being solicited. Support your opinions\/arguments utilizing
\ncourse material and\/or other relevant and academically oriented sources.
\n2. Response to at least two other students\u2019 posts which is designed to foster interaction as
\nwell as designed to challenge one another to potentially look at topics or arguments from
\na differing viewpoint. Keep in mind the intent is not to cause argument but rather to
\nchallenge thinking.
\nStudents are encouraged to raise issues and ask questions regarding current or outside the
\nclassroom events that are related to the course. A student MUST have full participation with
\nresponding to all of the posted questions\/topics for each module as well as a minimum of at least
\ntwo responses to other students\u2019 posts in order to attain the full one hundred (100) points for
\nclass participation.
\nProjects (2):
\nStudents are required to write two (2) papers describing (2) major components of foreign country
\nof the students choosing (instructor must approve selection). The assignments will require the
\nstudent to research, write a paper, and make a presentation, by means of developing a
\nPowerPoint presentation covering the material presented in the formal paper describing (1)
\nPolice\/Law Enforcement of a foreign country and (2) The Criminal Law Components of a
\nforeign country. The specific topics and grading criteria for the written assignments and
\npresentation follow and are incorporated into this syllabus.
\nWritten assignments are to be word processed using Microsoft Word, size 12 New Times Roman
\nfont, double spaced with one (1) inch margins around the page (default), using the American
\nPsychological Association (Help write my thesis – APA) citation method. Your research papers and presentations
\nshould be thorough and scholarly. Jargon, lingo, and street language are to be avoided and their
\nuse will decrease your grade. By way of example, and not limitation, \u201ccop\u201d is generally
\nunacceptable, \u201cpolice officer\u201d or \u201claw enforcement officers\u201d is preferred. A person may be
\n\u201cmentally ill\u201d or \u201clegally insane\u201d (they are not the same), not \u201cnuts\u201d or \u201ccrazy\u201d.
\nThe material expected to be covered in each written project is covered toward the end of this
\nsyllabus. Keep in mind, the paper should be written as such. In other words, based off the
\nmaterial list pertaining to information that should be covered, make the information into a
\npaper\u2014do not simply bullet point answers. Further, ensure that you are crediting the source(s)
\nused for the information that you are referencing by utilizing the proper Help write my thesis – APA format. The
\nwritten paper must be submitted prior to the date\/time due, as noted in the course schedule,
\nand submitted via Blackboard\u2019s SafeAssign feature.
\nThe PowerPoint portion of the assignment must be submitted via an electronic mail (email)
\nattachment prior to the due date\/time or utilizing the submit feature within the respective module
\nunder the assignment section. If the student runs into problems submitting the email due to size
\nof the attachment, \u201cnote pages\u201d of the presentation would be perfectly acceptable. If questions
\narise in regard to how to do so, in advance, ensure that you get with the instructor to work
\nthrough PowerPoint to \u201cprint\u201d the note pages if necessary.
