Nuclear Biological Chemical threat/preparedness
What is expected:
Title page (strict APA style)
Abstract page (short summary of report)
Introduction (present question/hypothesis; explain what plan on doing)
Literature Review (review of prior research on topic)
Methodology section (includes setup of survey, observations, & interviews)
Observations & Findings (report findings from methods used)
Discussion & Conclusion (summary of findings, answer research question)
Reference page (strict APA style expected)
Appendices (include copies of survey instrument, interview questions, etc.)
Format: APA Format (1 inch margins, in-text citations, Times New Roman font (12), page numbers, running head, etc.)
Length: Minimum of 9 pages of text (not including title page, abstract page, reference pages, or appendices); no maximum number of pages
Recommended Steps to Follow:
STEP 1: Develop research topic?research question?research hypothesis.
STEP 2: Begin literature review using reliable resources (the same action you take to complete a research paper in other classes). Reliable resources can include books (not textbooks), journal articles, and other dependable sources (not Wikipedi; instead use those like .gov or .edu sites).
STEP 3: Prepare your survey instrument and interview questions. Determine how & what you will view as your observation. Explain how this will all be done; this will be your methodology section of your project.
STEP 4: Conduct survey. Conduct interviews. Conduct observation.
STEP 5: Compile and write up your findings. This will be the observations & findings sections.
STEP 6: Determine if you can answer your research question with the data you gathered. Are they what you expected? Did you have findings that surprised you? This will be the discussion & conclusion section.
STEP 5: Type & Proofread: begin typing ASAP; do not wait until the night before to start.
STEP 6: Submit the Paper on Time on MOODLE: All papers must be submitted to me by the date and time listed above; if not, expect a point loss of 10%/day. There will be a TurnItIn drop box opened on Moodle for you to submit. You also must submit a hard copy on the above date as well.
Other Notes:
Can use textbooks & Wikipedia only as a guide to other resources; do not include them as references
Depending on your topic, you may not be able to perform a real observation (e.g. Death penalty)…instead we will use a ‘quasi’ approach. For instance, you can watch a video on capital punishment. Or, say you cannot conduct interviews with child protection agents; instead, your classmates will play the role of the agents. It may not be the real thing, but it will at least give you a look into how these procedures are conducted. There will be a select time during the semester when we will conduct the ‘mock’ role playing.
APA…100% required
TurnItIn.com will be used so please do not copy
Early submission of papers is welcomed and preferred, but not required

Interview Questions for Paper
Nuclear Biological Chemical Preparedness
These sets of questions will be broken down to three individuals; SSG Torres, SSG Wallace and Cpt Klingensmith. These questions will be verified using government sites to ensure the accuracy of the information and will elaborate on their opinions and what has led them to believe that. This is just a rough format and the questions may change after speaking to Captain Klingensmith. He is helping me to refine the paper and direction.
1. In the event of Nuclear, Biological, or Nuclear attack on US soil Homeland Defense is in charge?
2. In an NBC attack on US soil which Department is in charge?
3. The US government has a Chemical Defense Training Facility, what is it used for?
4. The CDTF is trains who exactly and why? Type of clearance?
5. While training in the CDTF, personnel train in a live biological and chemical agents, why?
6. The borders of the United States are secure from an NBC attack in what ways are they and aren’t they?
7. The State Trooper’s HAZMAT team performs what role in a cleanup?
8. An NBC soldier’s training last 18 months, why?
