The Final Paper Assignment

I added some comments for the final paper. Remember that the thesis is the roadmap for the paper so it needs to be clear and concise to show the reader what the paper will argue.  The reader should understand why your policy is important and how it relates  to the national government.  Always finish with a strong conclusion to reinforce  the thesis and tell the reader why your argument was convincing.
