POLI 1160 - Contemporary Ideologies (Parajulee)

Argumentative Research Essay

For your final paper, you are expected to produce a 1500 word essay that responds to one of the essay prompts provided in your course outline and in the "Essay Topics" section of this guide. In your analysis and answer, you are expected to interact with a minimum of 8 major academic sources.

It is recommended that you refrain from using unevaluated internet resources for your research. Many resources that are acceptable for your assignment will not be available through regular internet searching (like using Google) - instead, you are expected to use the library's scholarly resources in your paper. 

This guide is designed to help you find scholarly books and journal articles that will be acceptable resources for your final paper. This is a great place to begin; these are not exhaustive lists of resources. Use the suggestions in the guides to find more keywords, narrow or refine your topic, and have examples of the kinds of resources you are required to find for your paper.

If you need help with your research, please do not hesitate to use library reference services like AskAway or contact me directly.
