Outline Due – by Thursday, March 12, 23:59pm

Final Paper – by Thursday, March 30, 23:59pm

The term paper is an opportunity for students to do in-depth research on an area of particular interest in sociology while practicing research and academic writing skills. It is worth 25% of your total course mark.

A good research paper will be focused on a specific subject, population (group of people) and location that are related to sociology. You can use the following pattern to help you generate a topic for your research paper:

subject

population

location

+ + = well-focused research paper!

Here’s another way to think of it. Choose one item from each column:

Subject/Issue

Population and/

or Location

Class
Mcdonaldization
socialization
social inequality
discrimination
gender
race
age
a subject of your choice

International students

adults

LGBTQ teens/men/women/seniors

First Nations

immigrants

children

a population of your choice

Canadian fiction, cinema etc.

Cultural festivals

Places of worship

post-secondary institutions

agriculture

social media
advertising
a location of your choice

Write your three key words here: (subject) _________________________

among (population) _________________________ in (location) ____________________________

Ex. sports culture among immigrants in Canada

Ask a question about your topic (Ex. Does sports involvement help immigrants adjust to Canadian life?)

___________________________________________________________________________________

3. Find library sources about your topic using your key words and their synonyms.
Briefly, what do your sources say about your topic?

(Ex. Source 1 : (Lee, 2016) surveys about positive effects of sport on immigrant youth)

Source 1: ( )________________________________________________

Source 2: ( )________________________________________________

Source 3: ( )________________________________________________

4.Thesis Statement: looking at your sources, choose three parts of your topic you can write about:

i.______________________________________________________________________________

ii._____________________________________________________________________________

iii._____________________________________________________________________________

ex. i. types of sports involvement ii. Sports benefits and adjustment to Canadian life iii. barriers to sports participation
You can use these parts in your thesis statement, and write about them in more detail in your results section.

Term Paper Checklist

In order to get your best possible score, did you complete the following?

My topic is connected to Canadian society
I used all of the headings in the assignment.
I answered all of the questions in each section of the outline.
My Literature Review section refers to 3 recent (last 10 years) academic research studies related to my paper.
I applied at least one sociological theory or theoretical concept to my topic.
I have 2+ APA in-text citations in every body paragraph of my paper.
I used "quotations" around all of the phrases that are the same as my sources.
I used citations ex. (Smith, 2010) for all quotes, ideas and paraphrases supported by my sources. I wrote these at the end of the sentence, or embedded them in the sentence.
I have an APA-style References list with 5-8 high-quality academic sources (not blogs or non-academic websites) at the end of my paper.
I wrote an outline, and uploaded it to Canvas by the due date.
I visited the WLC or my instructor at least once to check my outline or paper for structure, ideas, citations and/or grammar.
I attended or will attend the APA citation workshop and receive a pass report.
For help with academic writing, I will use WLC resources or complete the writing worksheets on Canvas.

Remember, your own words and the best you can do are ALWAYS better than a ‘0’ and an academic alert! The Writing and Learning Centre is here to help.

**Use proper APA citation throughout your paper. When in doubt, contact me or the WLC.

Your paper should be 5-8 pages, double-spaced, not including references. Use the headings provided in the chart below and ensure each section of your paper answers the section points and questions.

Introduction	Situate your topic - ex. make a general statement about your topic that grabs the reader's interest, or use a quote or statistic (hook) Explain why and how you thought about pursuing your topic Ask a research question to focus your paper. What do you want to find out from your research? You may or may not include this question in your paper. (ex. Why is blanket-making popular among Canadian First Nations women?) After doing some research, answer your research question. Give three reasons why understanding your topic is important to Canadian society. (ex. As an important First Nations cultural art form, blanket making is a means of cultural transmission that builds community and reaffirms identity.) This is your thesis.
Literature Review Theory	Discuss other research related to your topic, including: References to at least 3 research studies from peer-reviewed journals What is interesting about these studies and what do they tell you about your topic? What theoretical perspectives do these studies use? Including the theoretical perspectives from the articles, and those you learned in the course, choose a theoretical perspective to help you analyze your topic. You will discuss this in the Discussion section.
Results/Findings	Explain three major findings from the research in detail. (in the final paper write at least one paragraph for each part.) Show graphs or charts that summarize the most interesting or important research you have found. Explain what they show about your topic. How do your results answer your research questions?
Discussion and Counterargument	How well were you able to support your argument with research? Were there any factors that could have affected what you found? Are there any other explanations/ counterarguments about your topic? Is there anything you wish you could have done differently?
Problems/ Counterarguments	Did you have any problems researching your topic (ex. not enough information, information difficult to understand)? Can you suggest any additional areas for research or any improvements to the studies you looked at?
Conclusion	Summarize your findings about the three main components of your topic Does your research point to any conclusions? Does your data suggest any directions that you would like to pursue within your topic? Are there other topics related to your research that should be pursued? Remind your reader: Why and to whom is your topic important?
References	5-8 references, APA style throughout, including the 3 studies mentioned above
