Description
This assignment is your opportunity to integrate the material covered in the course by preparing an analytical research paper on the leadership issue or idea of your choice.

An analytical research paper is an expanded essay that presents your own interpretation, evaluation, and argument. It involves surveying a field of knowledge in order to find the best possible information in that field. When you write an analytical research paper, you build upon what you know about the subject and make a deliberate attempt to find out what experts know.

The most important element of the analytical research paper is your thinking. A well-prepared analytical research paper explains your thesis or position and integrates what the experts have to say on the topic with your own personal views. It presents your own thinking backed up by others’ ideas and information.
