In this segment of the course, all students are to participate by completing a substantive paper on a topic within the realm of American security policy, see list of topics below. The student, based upon agreement with the instructor, chooses a specific project or topic from a prescribed list of topics. The possibility obviously exists depending upon the number of students that individual students will produce duplicate projects or topics. That situation provides the opportunity for instructor comparison between the individual projects. Individual students are graded on the originality and thought of the project for which they are responsible. Topics selected can range over a variety of topics related to American security policy. General topic areas can include research on: 1. Cyber warfare, 2. U.S. naval policy regarding fleet composition and where stationed, 3. Evaluate what “Air-Sea Battle” means and how it would be implemented, 4. Policy regarding use of unmanned aerial vehicles, armed or not including domestic use, 5. Does counter insurgency strategy work or under what conditions does it work? (This requires you define what counter insurgency means historically and presently), 6. U.S. security policy in relation to terrorism, which is separate from counter insurgency and larger in scope, and 7. Other topics may be suggested which must be explicitly agreed to by the instructor in writing through the course website. One can also examine programs and projects in other national militaries, providing an opportunity to expand your horizons beyond the U.S. military. We are considering policy questions rather than tactics per se although ongoing and historical events can be used as illustrations but the focus is on current and future American security policy rather than historical reconstructions of past wars and events.
Topic selections must be chosen and submitted through the Assignments portion of the website by 2300 hours, 21 September 2013 and posted to the course website. The project proposal involves a prospectus of at least 1,000 words explaining what the student proposing to study and what sources have been preliminarily found available to complete the project successfully. You must provide a minimum of five references, not including textbook materials or Wikipedia. This means you must provide a clear statement of the exact topic being analyzed. Failure to turn in an acceptable proposal will result in an “F” for the entire project and for the course. After review by the instructor, students can begin their project. Changing your topic after it is accepted must be done by the closing date of the First Examination (see schedule for exact date and time).
Course projects must be a minimum of 2,500 words to a maximum of 4,000 words, 15 references, only half can be solely web although library journal articles accessed through the web are not considered web only. For project and proposal formatting, see the formatting instructions given above. Any changed topic must be approved by the instructor; otherwise, the changed topic will not be accepted. Other changes in the original topic in terms of scope or focus but still in the same general topic, for example, should be emailed to the instructor for his approval. NO CHANGES WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER 1 NOVEMBER AT 2300 HOURS. This is in order that sufficient time exists to complete your project. Late projects or assignments are graded down a letter grade a day until an F grade is reached. However, failure to complete a satisfactory project will result in an “F” for the course regardless of the number of points earned in other portions of the course.
