Doing this work requires different types of research that go beyond simply querying a library database or using Google. You often will need to speak directly to target populations and audiences, and directly contact resources and experts in different professions and in the community. You also may need information in addition to or instead of scholarly resources. Local and national journalism may add context and perspective. Professional experts, government agencies, state and local authorities all may be relevant sources, as are individuals in target populations.

The assignment is to write a 500-1000 word (2-4 page) opinion paper answering one of the questions below. Question: Does preparation for success against irregular threats aid the Marine Corps’ ability to fight and win a major war against a near-peer competitor or is it a detriment? Why? Although you must cite any sources used to support your ideas, this is an opinion paper that does not require the use of outside sources. Use original thought; analyze the topic with the knowledge you have gained in the course and through your life experiences. Assignment: The Essay is an academic endeavor—that is, it should maintain the third person point-of-view (see bullet below), use grammatical sentences, and take an engaging position. In essence, Essay should prove how well you understand the topic and the course material; and it must do so with original thought, not with layers of book quotes or paraphrasing. As you write your essay, you will enhance your critical thinking skills: your ability to approach a topic from a unique standpoint, to form a position based on your experience and the knowledge you gained from the course, to consider alternatives to your position, and to make a logical conclusion. Use the following stylistic rules for writing your Essay: • The format requirements are 1” margins, double-spaced text, and 12-point Times New Roman font. • Have a thesis statement. Typically, this is found at the end of your introductory paragraph; this statement lays out the core of your position on the topic. (See the Developing a Thesis Statement documents in the Writing Center.) • Your position should consider all sides of the argument. Essays that take unwavering extreme stances will alienate your reader. • Primarily use third person point-of-view (POV). Third person includes he, she, it, they, him, her, them, his, her, hers, their, and theirs; all nouns and indefinite pronouns are third person. Although switching POVs within an academic essay is not normally done, the Essay makes one exception: You may switch to first person point-of-view when using a personal experience that is essential to your argument. First person includes I, we, me, us, my, mine, our, and ours. (See “Point-of-View” under the Writing Issues button in the Writing Center.) • As a rule of thumb, use three types of paragraphs: an introductory paragraph, supporting/body paragraphs, and a conclusion paragraph. • Use original thought. You must analyze the topic with the knowledge you have gained in the course and through your life experiences. • Finally, give yourself time to revise your essay. Too many grammatical mistakes will obscure your points.The essay needs to be on the same document as the Coversheet doc.
