On writing a corrections paper.
The purpose of this assignment is to assist you in developing your writing skills as well as provide you with an opportunity to gain in depth knowledge on an area of interest.
On doing the research
The quality of your paper will be dependent on the thoroughness of your work in the library and on computer data bases. We have a number of good journals in our library but through search engines like ProQuest. Government reports can be useful, especially Statistics Canada data, or formal technical reports from organizations such as the federal Solicitor General, Corrections Canada, or Justice Canada.
On integrating the research into your paper
Once you have done your research, you need to write your paper. First, you will introduce your topic and explain the purpose of your paper. You should identify the issue of interest, and be specific. Then you need to present your research. You will summarize the ideas and evidence gleaned from your research, preferably giving me some contrasting view points. You will show that you have weighed the evidence critically, and provide me with some of your opinions and ideas. While you can do this as you write, generally it is more effective at the end of your paper. Your conclusion should also summarize the main points of your paper.
