Instruction
For this class you will be writing one research paper using peer reviewed journal articles from the Lehman Library databases. I recommend ERIC or JSTOR but you may use other databases from the library if you prefer. You cannot use books, newspapers, magazines or wikipedia as supporting information for your paper. Peer reviewed journal articles have been reviewed for their methods and analysis other sources have not which makes their assertions questionable.
You may choose any area of interest within this or relevant to this course and investigate further using the databases. The more information you find the easier it will be to write your paper. You should use a min. of 5 academic journal articles, but the more you have the more support you will have for your assertions. By reading and reviewing the research articles on your topic you will be able show:
1) a clear understanding of the area of interest.
2) the Conflict, Functionalist and Interactionist perspective on the issue.
Papers should be 3-5 pages not including cover and works cited (standard font/margins/spacing ~1100-1500words).
Works cited must include at least 5 peer reviewed academic journal articles not including articles originating from this course.
