By the conclusion of Module 3, each student will post a proposed topic to the Research Topic discussion board. The topic must be directly related to the field of criminal investigation. Students are encouraged to seek out original scholarly topics early and post their choices as soon as possible. Students will not be permitted to duplicate or write on the same topic. The research paper will be submitted to the course Dropbox by the conclusion of Module 7. (The Dropbox is linked to Turnitin.) The assignment will be graded for grammar, syntax, spelling, detailed information pertaining to the topic and APA compliance. Those areas are further provided in the rubric below. Students are encouraged to review those requirements prior to completing the assignment. Grading Rubric Rating: Exceptional corresponds to an A- to A (90-100). Performance is outstanding; significantly above the usual expectations. Proficient corresponds to a grade of B- to B+ (80-89%). Skills and standards are at the level of expectation.
