Immigration Policy Paper: Choose one of the issues that you reported on in your article summaries or some other current issue and focus on it for a more in depth policy breakdown of the issuerelating the issue to the class material and models. The 7-8 page paper should cover:
* a brief relevant history of that policy issue as it relates to the particular state, country or regional grouping(EU) involved
* ramifications (for the state, country or grouping of countries involved)
* origin of the state, country or regional grouping\’s position and that of the member countries of the regional groupremember that there may be a big difference between the political and economic rationale behind an issue.
* the winners and losers from different possible outcomeswho are the different stakeholders within the state or country regarding the issue for example: the migrants and their families, low or high skilled laborers, tax payers, a particular industry, politician, etc.
You should try to find a variety of sourcesbooks, periodicals, Internet sites, etc. This assignment will be very easy for you if you have been able to focus your current events on the topic you choose. The library has several databases that contain abstracts and even the entire text of articles. I know that the librarians over there would be happy to help you work with the databases and locate research materials. You will probably find that our library does not have every source that would be of use to you in your research. I expect you to have to use interlibrary loan. It is a very easy procedure if you leave enough time to get the materials. Do not procrastinate in looking for sources. I would say that at least ninety percent of the time procrastination is the reason people do not do well on papers.
Paper Format: For all papers the format should be double-spaced (without including the works cited page), 12 point Times New Roman font, and one inch margins all the way around (be sure to check the schools computers many of them are set to have a 1.25 inch margin). All sources used should be cited within the paper, and a full and formal works cited page should be included. Be particularly vigilant with your citations so as not plagiarize others, clearly citing both loose relations of others\’ ideas as well as direct quotes.
All papers should be clear and well presented. You will get separate grades for content and writing. Writing a high-quality paper is challenging. The paper should be well-structured and flow easily and clearly from section to section and paragraph to paragraph. Beginning with a detailed outline should help you in this regard. Try to be as precise as you can in choosing your words. Be sure not to overuse the same word and do vary the structure of your sentences so as to keep the reader\’s interest. When you think you have finished, read your paper aloud one final time. See what it sounds like; read every word on the page. It is very easy to ignore one\’s own mistakes on paper but if you hear exactly what you have written it will be easier to find silly errors and confusing sentences. Weeding through careless mistakes is frustrating for the reader so please proofread. Do not neglect your introduction or conclusion. I will notice. Spend some time on these sections to make a good first and last impression. If you lose your reader right off the bat or end on a bad note, they will remember. I will give you in advance the actual grading rubric that I will be using when I evaluate your papers. Please consult this as you review your papers. It will give you an accurate idea of each of the areas I am seeking when I grade your paper.

Objectives:
The Literature / Artefact Review incorporates all three course objectives by (a) demonstrating an understanding of different research methods and their practical applications (b) demonstrating the skills and knowledge needed to initiate and carry out small research projects in art, craft, design, planning, and architecture, and (c) demonstrating an understanding of the relationship between visual culture and research, from the position of the individual, emerging practitioner.
The purpose of a literature / artefact review is to show the gap in knowledge, research and literature that exists and explain how your topic will fill that gap.
Marking criteria:
1. Relevance of chosen literature and/or artefacts
2. Coherence and clarity of the arguments
3. Critical engagement with texts and/or artefacts
4. Academic writing and referencing conventions
In the literature/artefact review you will:
identify a gap in existing knowledge, that is, you will identify what we still need to know about this topic or issue
pose a question related to this gap (this will be your research question)
compare and contrast different authors views on an issue
note areas in which authors are in disagreement
highlight gaps
or identify any particular shortcomings of past research In this way, your literature/artefact review becomes a critical discussion of the knowledge or ideas related to your research topic.
Writing your literature/artefact review
A brief introduction:
The decision to include a brief introduction to your literature/artefact review will depend on the topic area, length of the research project, and any instructions or templates provided by your lecturer
The length of the introduction will depend on the word requirement for your research project report or paper (it could be just a couple of sentences or it could be several paragraphs)
Set the context and inform the reader of the purpose or focus of the research project
Sign post to the reader what will be covered
You may want to also inform the reader of how you went about the process of conducting the literature review so that the reader can be assured of the rigor of your process
