Assignment Instructions
Instructions:
Must be familiar with Chicago style writing .
Some knowledge about Cyber security
Turabian Title Page – For any assignment or paper I would expect some kind of title page to be included.
* Always spell out acronyms the first time.
* Internet should be capitalized. Check Turabian page 311 in the 7th edition.
* Avoid 1st Person writing: I, me
* Avoid Passive Voice: Direct-Object-Verb Subject (Photos were collected by satellites). Instead use Active Voice: Subject-Verb-Direct Object (Satellites collected photos)
*** Reminder: In the most basic format, you should have an intro, 3 supporting paragraphs/sections, and a conclusion. None of these rule are written in stone, just good guides.
Intro: 1st Sentence is a quote or stat or whatever to catch the reader’s attention. Several sentences that summarize the problem and your supporting arguments. Final sentence in the intro is your thesis statement. Make it as straightforward and obvious as possible. Keep it simple if you can. Make a claim or take a position in this sentence.
Supporting Paragraphs/Sections: First sentence is your topic sentence, again, this is a supporting reason to why your thesis statement is true. Make the support obvious in the sentence. Use the rest of the paragraph to prove and support your topic sentence…examples and citations.
Rebuttal or Counter-argument Paragraph: Some professors like you to include a paragraph where you talk about opposing points of view or counters to your thesis claim. I like this because it shows me you thought about the other side. Support them with some citations and/or examples, but then tell the reader why you do not think these are true or as important.
Conclusion: Restate your thesis statement in here and how the evidence/paragraphs support you claim. Explain what’s wrong with the counterargument. Nothing new should show up here.
I hope everyone is having a great week and I look forward to the second half of the course.
