paper 3

/in /by

Your third paper will be a 500-1000 word essay explaining a central  theme in Robert Frost’s poem, “Mending Wall.” Find out what others think by doing a little research online and prove the points you see by quoting lines from the poem AND citing one other reputable source, quoting, or paraphrasing from that source.

**CRITICAL NOTE: This is a Formal, MLA-style paper in which you will use parenthetical citations and a Works Cited Page. You should have studied and practiced this type of paper in English 111, but either way, this type of essay is “Coin of the Realm” for college papers. I’ve posted lots of help about the MLA documented essay, so show me you know your stuff with this paper. Remember that you can rewrite this paper for a better grade. Here is my Rubric for this paper:

Implementing community-oriented policing

/in /by

Assignment Instructions:

Each student is required to complete an 8-10 page research paper on a current issue facing law enforcement leaders, utilizing at least 8 scholarly references, and written in APA Style. The paper should have 8-10 pages of content, not including the title page, abstract, and reference page.

Note that references used for your research need to be peer-reviewed/scholarly journals. These journals typically have the following characteristics:

1. articles are reviewed by a panel of experts before they are accepted for publication;
2. articles are written by a scholar or specialist in the field;
3. articles report on original research or experimentation;
4. are often published by professional associations;
5. utilize terminology associated with the discipline.

Topic ideas include: recruiting women and minorities into law enforcement, recruiting and retaining Millennials, implementing body-worn cameras, improving hiring practices and processes, reducing unethical conduct by officers, combating the opioid epidemic, improving community relations, implementing community-oriented policing, addressing increasing rates of suicide among officers, etc.

Discussion Six – Prayer

Discussion Six – Prayer
.
Journal Assignment #6 is another exercise in Rogerian Argument  In 100-250 words, write the first paragraph for a paper in Rogerian Style on the topic of whether public prayer in public schools should be allowed. Think about structuring this paragraph in the “On the one hand/On the other hand” format (don’t SAY “On the one hand…) Give equal weight to each side of the argument.

I’ve made this a particularly contentious issue, but remember that any controversial topic has valid arguments on both sides, otherwise, there would be no controversy. Seeing the big picture will make your argument stronger because you’ve considered both sides. One last hint here: prayer IS allowed in public schools, so you might want to find out how that works. A little bit of fact-checking can go a long way!

Job Analysis

2.    Interviews one person who holds this job title. Each incumbent should have held the job for at least six months (this avoids problems with someone who is too new to really understand his/her position).
3.    Fill out the noted information below.
