Description
Designed for MPP2s conducting independent Policy Analysis Exercises (PAEs) in human services, labor, or education. Past topics have included an assessment of services for families involved in the welfare and child welfare systems and strategic plans for charter schools. Large group meetings will focus on choosing a client, choosing a topic, and frameworks for policy analysis. Once clients have been chosen (October), we break into small groups where students will meet regularly with an advisor and with other students conducting PAEs on similar topics. Students are required to write a PAE, give a presentation of their research, and provide intellectual support to others in the course.
Open to MPP2s only. Taught jointly with CCJ-150Y, HCP-150Y, and NPS-150Y.
