!! advanced research and analytic skills to a topic relevant to the Intelligence study program and of sufficient U.S. or international security interest
Start your assignment with an introductory paragraph about your research topic and why it is of interest and a research “puzzle.” End your paragraph with your research question.
Next, provide a purpose statement that conveys your intentions about what you hope to produce. See the reference in your Lessons and review that it will usually be prefaced by some phrase like the following: “This paper examines . . .,” “The aim of this paper is to . . .,” or “The purpose of this essay is to . . .”. Remember that a purpose statement makes a promise to the reader about the development of the argument but does not preview the particular conclusions that the writer has drawn.
Next, provide citations from at least 4 scholarly or peer-reviewed journals or books or other sources (government publications and websites, for example) that you have found that pertain to your research topic. Please consult the Turabian Style Guide for the correct format for your citations. You may use either Turabian Bibliography format or Turabian References format. Just be consistent!!
