The second paper will also be graded on the quality of the research. All papers are due on the assigned date unless prior arrangements are made with the instructor. Each student will be expected to make two oral presentations. The first will be a short, two to four minute, presentation of one of the cases from the Stillman book. The presentation is to be a critique of the public administration handling of the case and should presume student familiarity with the details of the case.
Presentations are to be planned and coordinated with other students having the same assignment.
Each student's individual presentation or presentations should total approximately five minutes in length, but in any event not more than seven minutes. Oral presentations will start on November 12. There will be a comprehensive final examination, essentially of an essay type. More information on the examination will be presented to the class in advance by the instructor. Students will be required to compose their final examination on a word processor.
