It may be a problem that has arisen in their own workplace. In other cases, students begin by focussing on a proposal for action that has attracted attention. It is important to recognize that this sort of Project must contain all of the elements described in the preceding paragraph, even though the narrative may differ. This sort of Project ends with recommendations for the adoption or modification of the proposal for action, or with a recommendation for rejection of the proposal for action. In this latter case, some explicit endorsement of the status quo, or some alternative line of action, will be necessary.
Students sometimes choose to make an evaluation of a policy already adopted by a public institution.
In this case, the analysis might consider whether any action was necessary in the first place, whether the adopted policy had the intended effect, and whether alternative policies might have proved more effective. This sort of Project usually ends with recommendations for the continuation, amendment, abolition or replacement of the policy. You are encouraged to speak with the Master's Project Co-ordinator about potential topics and supervisors. You can also speak with any other member of the School's faculty, including the faculty member who will be the Second Reader for your Project. The Statement of Interest should be submitted to the Master's Project Co-ordinator by June of the student's first year in the program.
