Psychological and behavioral factors of individual terrorists

  • The body of your report is to be at least three FULL pages in length (not counting title page and references) and is to contain the following:
    • A brief introduction, with the topic and your thesis
    • A main body, containing the "meat" of the paper, where you provide the requested information supported by class readings and with your analysis
    • A conclusion, summarizing your information clearly and concisely
      Double space all text (no extra lines or spaces after a paragraph or section headings and no added font sizes or lines either)
      A respectable number of credible resources used, cited in the paper as in-text citations, and included on the reference page. A good rule of thumb is at least 2 scholarly sources per page of content (a minimum of 2 new scholarly sources per page in a research paper is acceptable). Use those academic and credible sources provided to you throughout the course, as well as other scholarly material obtained from conducting your own research. Freely utilize appropriate and reputable academic sources, summarize in your own words and cite accordingly.
      The paper must be free of typographical, spelling and grammatical errors (make sure to proof read before submission)
      Turn your paper in as a Word Document and title your assignment "Lastname_Midterm"
      Finally, be mindful of excessive direct quotes as the paper should not contain just a string of quotations from sources. Make sure you comply with all academic integrity standards expected by APUS and as slide 14 of the APUS Academic Integrity presentation posted in course syllabus (and the week 1 introduction forum) states “Quotes cannot make up more than 10% of the text of your assignment.” So paraphrase where you can and provide your own analysis and synthesis of your research (direct quotes only when necessary to support your thesis). The bottom line for academic integrity is to write an original work for this assignment (not copied from anywhere on the internet or recycled content from your own previous papers) and to properly cite your references.
