Description
This six-week course will focus on the modes of analysis, persuasive arguments, recommendations, refutations, overall structure, and graphic support necessary to write extended policy analysis. We will study the genres of extended policy papers, including white papers and briefing books, with particular attention to the Policy Analysis Exercise (PAE) and Second-Year Policy Analysis (SYPA). You should arrive with a long-format project clearly in mind that you can develop effectively in a six-week period. The class operates in smaller break-out sessions targeted to your specific policy interests and writing needs and can be taken alone or together with other writing courses in the DPI series.
Enrollment limited.
