Each student is to select one country of interest, other than the USA for the Research Paper. The name of the country is to be submitted via the Week 3 Forum 1 – Country Selection link for approval by Friday of Week 3. I will respond there as to whether the country selection is approved. Be sure to choose a country, not ethnic group or continent.

The research paper is to be submitted in APA writing style. An APA formatted template has been provided for this paper. The APA style guide by OWL at Purdue may be used to aid in formatting the document, citations, and references.
At least five (5) scholarly references are required. Do not use non-scholarly references such as travel agency information, Wikipedia, blogs, wikis, etc. Scholarly reference sources can be found in the COSC online Library, Google Scholar. If using Internet sources, look for sites that generally have credible information with Internet address endings such as .org, .edu, or .gov. Reference sources without a publication date or author should not be used. Select references published within the past five (5) years preferably. If you have questions about the credibility of a site, ask first.
