The research paper should be a minimum of six typed pages and formatted in accordance with APA. Topics should be relevant to intermodal transportation.
The nature of a research paper is to prove or disprove a thesis or hypothesis, not simply produce a report or provide information on the topic. For example; a topic may be the impact of security on intermodal transportation. The associated thesis could be; actions taken to improve the security at ports have negatively impacted throughput, increasing costs and reducing the quality of operations. The research and body of the paper argue to prove the thesis statement.
A draft topic and thesis statement were due to the professor during week 2 (see Week 2 Announcement).
