Notes on Disaster Term Paper
The term paper must be original work. It should not have been submitted previously, in part or in whole, for a grade in another course. The work should comply with the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC)’s ethical guidelines for student papers. That means, specifically, the term paper should be your work and not that of another person. Please do not take or ‘borrow’ another person’s work and attempt to pass it off as your own, even if you have permission to use his or her work.
You have been assigned a specific disaster. You must do the term paper on this specific disaster. It should not be a term paper about another subject with only a few paragraphs on the disaster.
The term paper should include such issues as:
Background and lead up to the disaster
Detailed description of the disaster
Number of casualties
Impact on the infrastructure
Emergency response to the disaster
Triage used/
Duration of the disaster response
Problems over come
Innovations required to intervene
Psychological impact
Recovery efforts (including rebuilding)
Conclusion / lessons learned
The term paper should be 8 to10 pages in length. A few pages over the 8 to 10 pages will not draw a penalty. But, term papers that are shorter than the 8 to 10 pages are subject to a loss of points.
The term paper should be typed and printed on 8.5X11 sheets of paper. Left justified not center or right justified.
Spacing on the term paper should be 1½ (1.5) spaces between lines.
The font can be one of several choices such as ‘Times New Roman’, ‘New Century school book’ or ‘Arial’. Please avoid using font styles that take up a lot of space or are difficult to read such as those that mimic handwriting or calligraphy. The font size should be 12 point.
Only the references need to be in APA style. You may do the entire term paper in APA style. That is certainly acceptable and it enhances a term paper and may add some extra points to the paper, but the APA style is not a requirement for the remainder of the paper beyond the references.
References should be scholarly. Please avoid using Wikipedia for your source material. Wikipedia is frequently inaccurate.
Handed in no later than Nov 18, 2020
Submit in the term paper section of the assignments on Black Board for the EHS 320 course
Please make sure you have an electronic back-up for your paper. There have been a few rare cases over the years where a term paper went missing and the student had to provide another copy.
Must be neat, original, well referenced, informative, specific, creative, and be respectful of the intellectual property rights of others. Do not bore me! See the rubric.
