Instructions
Unlike the Reflection Papers, for your Analyst’s Paper
choose a topic that relates to the materials covered during your studies of the
Homeland Security world. This topic cannot be one that you wrote about in any
of your courses at APUS or any other institute of higher learning. This is your
opportunity to explore in-depth a topic that you have a greater interest in
than what you covered during the other courses at APUS. Feel free to explore
the world of Homeland Security and write about something that really interests
you. Be brave and write about something that others are not going to write
about, not just a typical paper on a common Homeland Security theme. Explore
and enjoy.
Topic: Artificial Intelligence’s Role in Homeland Security
