The class format will be discussion interspersed with lectures. There will be a term paper and a final examination. For the term paper, students will be required to explore a policy area of their choice, take some aspect of legislation, and evaluate the implementation of that legislation. Almost any area is acceptable. Health, education, welfare, urban housing, law enforcement, and environmental policy are some examples.
Papers are due no later than the last day of the tenth week.
A few students should be prepared to report on their work in class by the end of sixth week. Others will be expected to report before the quarter is over.
