POLI 101 Study Guide - Turnitin
Document Summary
The politics of policy: quirk, fall 2013. Essay assignment: a case study of policymaking in congress. The essay assignment is to write an 8 page (double-spaced) research essay describing the policymaking process, and explaining the policy outcome, on one significant case of legislation in the u. s. congress. Unlike in typical essays for ubc courses, you will base your analysis on relatively raw information government documents and contemporaneous news coverage, primarily conducting a small piece of original research. You may choose from among four issues (each the subject of significant legislation) for which we have collected the relevant materials. The evidence and interpretations in the paper should not be drawn from academic books or articles, or other similar works. Although you may read such works if you can find them and you want to do so, you may not cite them.
