Conference Notes

Going into the conference I was pretty confident about having a strong research paper proposal. To start, my research question that I proposed was How has the public's view of immigrants changed throughout the years and do immigrants have a negative or positive effect on today's U.S. society? Primarily the most important idea that I took out of the conferance was that my question was too broad and I need to narrow down my paper's topic. I have decided to mainly focus on finding whether or not illegal immigration is hurting our country's economy today.

  1. I feel like everyone had to narrow their paper down, I did as well. I think it will make the paper be more focused and organized.

  2. I am also going to focus on how immigrants affect the economy but I decided to narrow it down even further to immigrants from the Dominican Republic maybe you should do the same to focus on a specific group of people.

  3. I also had to narrow my paper down, and make my focus more clear. However, I think that you are headed in a good direction with your research idea.
