Financial resources and human capital.

  Write 1,000-1,500 essay on how the Mafia (in Italy and or Canada) used financial resources and human capital. More instructions are below with grading rubric at bottom of page. Q4: How many sources? The professor puts no limits. I say use about 5 scholarly sources. (2 journal articles, 1-2 manuscripts; 1-2 book chapters). See the instructors` notes about the sources on page 4 in the syllabus. I am specifying the kind of sources because each of these sources is presented in a different way in “Works Cited.” If you don’t know how to create a “Works Cited” list, you may try using Endnote (free download from Queen`s IT) or Zotero (free). Q5: How should I format my essay? MLA. This point is clearly stated in the grading rubric. Do you want to ace it, use the format in this sample paper here. No NOT add a separate cover page. Insert student information and essay info. at the top of first page. See how the author has done in text citation. No Endnotes; no footnotes. MLA is also called Author page # style. Present page # if you are taking a direct quote (author’s exact words). If not just mention the author.   Q6: How do I save my file? A word document that includes this: LastnameFirstnameLLCU 213_Essay Topic Receiving files with generic names would create a mess on my wend. We want to avoid frustration when grading. Q7. All if this is great but what will I write about my topic? Most of you have chosen a topic you are passionate about. Others were assigned automatically because they could not pick within the allocated period. Those topics are very broad and can go in many directions depending on what sources you find. a) Start with the keywords in the essay topic and do a Google Scholar search. That way, you can compile & survey about 10- 20 academic sources (read the title & abstract) and form a cluster of about 5 sources you choose. Make use your sources are academic, up to date, and reliable. See Q2 re the number). b) Do a database search at Queen`s libraries so that you can have access to the full source. I find Academic Search Complete very successful. Simply go to Queen`s libraries; choose search on the top and find databases. Alternatively, if you are using Omni, choose Queen`s+Omni libraries. a) Need more help? Each department has a liaison librarian. Please identify who yours is and book a session with them.
