I will comment on your papers in two ways. First, i will correct errors. This should be taken as a suggest to improve your writing. You can take it or leave it, but I won't put a remark on your paper if I don't think it is worth your consideration. Discussion is important in the public sector.
Arguments are important, as long as they are conducted professionally.
I like to discuss issues and I will argue with you about your ideas. Just because I never agree with you does not mean that I think your view or your point is without merit. Pushing you to be as precise as possible in your arguments is one mechanism for crystallizing what you really mean. If you think I am being unfair in class, please do not hesitate to see me as soon as possible. Several additional readings supplement the text and are available from the Division of Government office.
