Courseworks can be different. If a student has an extremely catching topic, the courseworks will be wonderful and outstanding. If a student writes about something that is not very important for him/her, the courseworks will be just ordinary and dry. Unfortunately, this is a common situation and mostly the courseworks are also common.
 
Still, everything is in your hands. You always have something to choose from and you can definitely choose something exceptional for your courseworks. Do not worry that you will not be able to disclose an exceptional topic. A talented student will always find needed coursework information for his/her courseworks.
 
This is why we are glad to suggest you a really interesting topic for one of your courseworks – Alcatraz. This is a famous American prison, which is situated in the San-Francisco Bay. Actually, nowadays it is not a prison anymore. Today it is a museum.
 
So, what information can you give in the coursework on Alcatraz.

• Of course, something should be told about the history of the prison. By the way, initially it was not a prison. First, it was a lighthouse that was built in 1853. Then it was a military fort, after that - a military prison, and only then a federal prison.
• A separate part of your coursework should be devoted to the period of the federal prison itself. This period for Alcatraz started at the times of Great Depression. At those times, the level of crimes increased dramatically. There were entire mafia families, which were struggling for the spheres of control. That was the main reason for opening Alcatraz again after it was closed as a military prison.
• In your coursework you are welcome to tell about the famous prisoners of Alcatraz. Among them are Al Capone and George Machine Gun. You can also tell about the attempts to escape from Alcatraz, which, by the way, were all unsuccessful.

I think your tutor will be really surprised by such an unusual coursework and will have to give you an A+.
