Write a paper addressing a course-related topic, such as operating system security issue, such as hardening, malware removal, establishing proper policies and permissions, protection against network threats, etc.
The title page and references are also required but don't count in the minimum page count.
Your paper must be in your own words, representing original work. Paraphrases of others' work must include attributions to the authors. Limit quotations to an average of no more than 3-5 lines, and use quotations sparingly. It is always better to write the information in your own words than to directly quote.
Important: Good academic writing requires writers to cite the sources of all facts in text. If you state that the sky is blue then you must cite who said it. A good rule of thumb is one citation per paragraph; paragraphs 3-5 sentences.
