Research Paper
Students will propose and research a topic of their choice within the field of cybersecurity. Papers should propose a thoughtful research question and discuss in detail the literature surrounding the topic. Research papers are to be 5-6 pages not including title page and bibliography. Students should utilize a MINIMUM of 3 DIFFERENT academic sources, not include the textbook. **Note Wikipedia is NOT an academic source and should not be used for this paper. Academic journals, books, and government websites are the best sources to use. Papers should include:
(1) Title Page
(2) Body of the paper (5-6 pages)
(3) Sources
Note: If you are unsure of how to find academic sources, please consult the CU library for information on how to find academic journal articles. Remember that the field of Cybersecurity is an interdisciplinary study, so you should consult journals outside the
field. ALL research papers will be submitted via Turnitin.It is necessary to CITE all information in your paper. If you are unsure of how to do this, contact the writing center…they are there to help you. Not citing information is considered plagiarism…and is not tolerated (see below). Remember, not knowing how or what to cite is not an excuse.
