You will take two blue-book, in-class essay exams. Generally, the exam will consist of
thematic questions from our studies and you will use the allotted time to write your
responses. The organization of your answers, the complexity of your analysis, and the
clarity of your critical thinking are the key elements of your evaluation. I will discuss the
exam details during week one. Please note, our unique three-day lecture schedule will
require us to allocate two days for each exam. See schedule.
Public Policy Analysis
Your capstone project in the course is an individual research assignment on a public
policy/federal law of your choice. We will call this project your Policy Paper which will
be a formal research paper aimed at introducing and/or polishing your skills in the
following:
.
.
.
Public policy research – policy design, implementation, evaluation
Understanding a federal law
Effectively exploring and utilizing the library system for research
Strengthening your academic and competitive writing skills
Enhance your critical thinking skills
.
The Basic Structure of your Policy Analysis is the following (See Appendix One for
further detail: Policy Paper Checklist)
1. Description of the policy/law – history and current situation
2. Rationale for public policy – market or government failure
3. Analysis of policy’s efficacy
4. Implementation
5. Evaluation
6. Recommendations
Additionally, your Policy Analysis will be required to have a minimum of ten quality
references (academic journal articles, leading books, relevant websites, etc.). The paper
will be a 12-15 page narrative/report with a traditional title page, appropriate subheadings,
standard formatting (double-spaced, 12-point font, Times New Roman, page numbers),
parenthetical citations such as (Jasso, 2018, p. 35), a works cited page (you may call it a
reference page), and any necessary appendices. We will use APA format for the
bibliography.
2 Your Policy Paper is an independent project testing your discipline of self-directed study. You are
encouraged to start early and use your TA’s office hours to gain feedback. Manage this time carefully as
your TA will need to balance his or her time as the term comes to an end. Consider this paper your final
exam’ and note that the paper will stand the test of safe assignment.
