Criminology Assignment | Custom Homework Help

Review the documents we covered in the writing workshop. They have been moved to this module for your convenience. Particularly review the Essay Guidelines, Essay Sample, and the Writing Tips.
The research paper guidelines are the same as the writing assignment guidelines, (see the document Essay Guidelines), except that you will do some outside research to choose your topic and you will cite to some outside sources.
You still need to cite to several class material sources that have been posted to canvas.
For citing, to make it easier for your partner to edit, please use the following format:
Class material: class material: (name of source)

Outside material: outside source: (name of source and link) (if it is on the web) or (name of author) (if it is not on the web)).

Bold your cites.

Examples include the following.

Class material example: The American Criminal Justice system is based on common law. Class material: History of the American Justice System.

Outside source web link example: The American Criminal Justice system is based on common law. Outside source: http://JusticeinAmerica.com (Links to an external site.)

Outside source NOT on the web example (this one is a book): The American Criminal Justice System is based on common law. Outside source: The History of American Criminal Justice, Dr. Dale Smith.

.4. Writing mechanics are as important as knowledge and understanding. THOROUGHLY READ AND STUDY THE ESSAY SAMPLE before writing and refer back to it while editing.a. Use proper grammar and essay structure, and include a thesis that accurately identifies what the essay will address. Underline the thesis.b. Writing style must be professional as opposed to email, text, or conversational style.c. Original thought should be used in lieu of clichés.
