Introduction
In this final activity for the week, you will be completing and submitting your Final Paper for a final grade. The purpose of this paper is to be a finalized intelligence report. We have built this paper in sections and reviewed those sections and made changes accordingly. This is common practice in the intelligence community, but it also common in the academic community, especially at graduate level. Please ensure you are utilizing the templates and assistance guides located in Course Documents for a near-complete Final Paper. Good luck to you all!
Activity Instructions
Complete any remaining tasks before you submit your Final Paper on your chosen intelligence topic. First confirm that your Final Paper includes a cover page, bottom line up front (BLUF), introduction, research, analysis, and conclusion and fully conforms to the Final Paper Template. Throughout the course, you have built a few sections of this already and submitted it for grading. Now you will take those graded sections and incorporate them into this Final Paper. Reference the Holistic Grading Assistance Guide as you are finishing up your paper and while you are editing it. Incorporate any changes that were made to your previous Final Paper assignments into this final intelligence product. Double-check that you are using the Final Paper Template and the Intelligence Source Citation Reference Guide for proper citation methodology. Finally, verify that your paper has a minimum of five pages (not including the title page and cited sources section). Good luck to you all!.
At the end of your submission, include a brief Design Statement explaining the process and tools you used to develop your work. Your statement should be about a paragraph or so, in your own words (rather than formally written), and unique to this assignment.
