Project Description:
This paper must be researched and written using the Forensic Discipline
you choose in the Forensic Discipline Topics Discussion during Week 1. You

with enough detailed information to discuss it in relation to the forensic
discipline in your paper.
The sources you use for this assignment should include at least two outside
sources or articles. One of your outside sources can be any of the provided
classroom readings. The source(s) of your real-life case do not count
towards your two outside sources. Significant amounts of information from
these outside sources should be incorporated into your paper. Wikipedia is
NOT an appropriate outside source for any college level paper and should
not be used as an outside source in this paper.
This paper is expected to be your explanation of this particular discipline,
although you are expected to incorporate and apply the course material
and material from the outside sources to your forensic discipline. To show
your critical thinking and that you incorporated your outside references
into your paper, the entirety of your paper must be written in your own
words. You may not use quotations in your paper.
