INSANE IN THE MEMBRANEEEE

            WE ALL KNOW HOW TEACHERS TRY TO SCARE STUDENTS ON THE FIRST DAY OF CLASS AND THE GENERAL RESPONSE IS " THE PROFESSOR IS OVER EXAGGERATING", WELL HATE TO BREAK IT BUT NOT FOR THIS CLASS. FROM DAY ONE CRIM 301 REQUIRES STUDENTS FULL ATTENTION AND FOCUS. I WOULD SUGGEST ON EVERY ASSIGNMENT START EARLYYYYYY! THE RESEARCH PAPER IS A MASSIVE PROJECT. TEN TO TWELVE PAGES MIGHT SEEM A LOT BUT THAT'S ACTUALLY VERY SHORT SINCE THE PROJECT REQUIRES TO CRAM IN TEN TO FIFTEEN ARTICLES YOU READ INTO ONE PAPER. THE FIRST ADVICE I WOULD GIVE IS TO START VERY EARLY, SPECIFICALLY ON CHOOSING YOUR TOPIC. SECONDLY AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, DECIDE HOW TO ORGANIZE THE PAPER WHICH WILL BE A CHALLENGE. USE SOURCES, LIKE JENNY, LIBRARY, AND THE WRITING CENTER. ALL THESE SOURCES WILL LEAD TO A BETTER SCORE, GUARANTEED. I WISH I USED THE HELP OF THE LIBRARIAN AND THE WRITING CENTER MUCH MORE THAN I DID. THE LIBRARIAN KNOWS WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT AND WILL HELP YOU FIND THE RIGHT ARTICLES AND EVEN HELP YOU CHOOSE THE TOPIC. ALSO TAKE YOUR DRAFTS TO THE WRITING CENTER AND KEEP IMPROVING THE DRAFTS UNTIL THEY LOOK READY.
        I DID MY RESEARCH PAPER ON PRISON EDUCATION. I CONCENTRATED ON HOW PRISON EDUCATION AFFECTS RECIDIVISM RATES. THERE IS A LOT OF INFORMATION ON THE TOPIC AND IT IS VERY INTERESTING. THE LIBRARY WEBSITE HELPED ME FIND THE RIGHT ARTICLES. I STARTED BY LOOKING AT THE BIG PICTURE LIKE REHABILITATION AND RETRIBUTION CONCEPTS. THOSE LEADS HELPED ME FIND THEORIES ON PRISON EDUCATION. I WOULD SUGGEST TO START WITH THE BIG PICTURE AND NARROW IT DOWN. BY JUST TYPING IN "PRISON EDUCATION" ON THE LIBRARY WEBSITE YOU WILL FIND A TON OF ARTICLES ON STUDIES WHICH WILL BE THE EASY PART OF THE PAPER, BUT THEORIES ARE FOUND BY LOOKING AT REHABILITATION OR RETRIBUTION AND GETTING THE IDEAS FROM THERE. ALL IN ALL USE THE WEBSITE TO YOUR ADVANTAGE SINCE IT FINDS SCHOLARLY ARTICLES AND THOSE THAT ARE EASY TO USE AS YOUR SOURCE. ONE OF THE SOURCES THAT I FOUND WAS BY UBAH AND ROBINSON CALLED " A GROUNDED LOOK AT THE DEBATE OVER PRISON-BASED EDUCATION: OPTIMISTIC THEORY VERSUS PESSIMISTIC WORLDVIEW." THIS SOURCE CAN BE FOUND THROUGH THE CAL STATE LIBRARY. IT DESCRIBES SOME OF THE THEORIES THAT ARE CONNECTED WITH PRISON EDUCATION, AND IN MY OPINION WILL LEAD YOU IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION REGARDING THEORIES ABOUT PRISON EDUCATION.
