Assignment: Rise of a Public Policy White Paper
Overview
When a public policy is developed, it endures a cycle. The assignments in this course will examine the "cycle" of a public policy. The first assignment will analyze the rise of a public policy through a 4-5 page white paper in which you will select a peer-reviewed article and use that article to explain how researchers use theories to analyze the rise of a public policy and review that rise using theoretical concepts.
A white paper is a form of communication from an employee to a supervisor or administrator. It should be concise, informative, and able to explain complex issues in a succinct way. Writing a white paper requires high critical thinking skills and the ability to write in concise fashion, which are highly sought-after skills and can lend to more responsibilities in the field.
