Term Paper: You are required to submit a term paper that is at least 12 pages in length exploring some aspect of the forensic science discipline. The length requirement excludes cover sheets, abstracts, appendices, graphs, figures, and references, if these are included. You have the freedom of choosing any topic related to the forensic science disciplines. Examples of suitable topics include a particular specialization in forensic science (entomology, forensic anthropology, etc.), a biography of a prominent historical figure in the field of forensic science, an appropriate topical event, or a discussion of important political/legal issues that involve the field of forensic science. The paper must include a minimum of six reference sources from scholarly publications (books, academic journals, governmental publications, etc.), though it is advisable to include more than the minimum. Non-scholarly sources may be used as supporting material, but will not count toward the requirement. The paper must follow APA guidelines, including proper citation and a cover sheet. The term paper should be considered a research instrument and should be supported by facts and data. The paper should not contain personal opinions.
