The laws of drinking and driving in America

Structure of the Paper: The final paper option in this class takes the form of a “miniature” literature review and analysis.  Once you have elected to complete the final paper (decision by Monday, March 31st), you will not be allowed to switch to the group project except with express permission of the instructor.  Anyone who does not actively indicate that he or she wishes to complete a group project will be assigned this option by default. The paper should be organized according to the following guidelines:

 

Topic: Your paper should be written about any topic related to drug use and American society that we have not discussed in class (or you may elaborate more fully on a topic that we have covered if you discuss it with me first). You must submit your choice of topic to me on Oncourse by Monday, April 7th for approval.

 

Introduction: (1-2 pages) What is your topic?  Why might others find it important?  Generally speaking, what kind of research has been published about this topic?

 

Background/Literature Review: (2-3 pages) This section should be a more in-depth summary of the literature about your topic.  You should not be expressing any opinions of your own in this section – the purpose here is to describe what has been published/what is known.

 

Discussion: (2-3 pages) This section should be your own interpretation of the literature review.  For instance, if your topic is “secondhand smoke” and you find in your literature review that secondhand smoke harms children riding in vehicles with parents who smoke, what might you conclude?  Does this finding inform your perception of current laws?  Would you suggest changing the law?  And so on…
