Course description edit

Policy Analysis - This is an introductory course to policy analysis. Policy analysts are responsible for defining and framing public problems, identifying and evaluating possible strategies for addressing problems, and recommending solutions that make the most sense. The goals of this course are to provide students with an understanding of the role that analysis plays in the policy-making process, to make students critical consumers of policy analysis, and to equip students with the basic skills necessary to write a professional policy analysis paper.

Assignment overview edit

Wikipedia Submission: Students will select and critique a Wikipedia page related to the policy topic used in their individual policy analysis. Key criteria include credibility of the page, intended audience, currency of content, degree of support for the information and analysis, use of policy analysis tools or concepts, extent of balance and/or bias, and any recommended changes to content, style, and tone. The student should submit changes to Wikipedia and then monitor, for one week, feedback from the Wikipedia “community.” The student should summarize such feedback and include reflections on its validity.
