This course will consist of seminars that will discuss concepts behind different approaches to policy analysis as well as policy analysis methods, to be applied on practical examples. A class where students and the instructor will discuss concepts will usually be followed by one where students will hone their analytical skills by learning and applying different methods. Students will be encouraged to actively participate in seminars. The course will thus typically combine the following parts: 1. Students will read the obligatory readings for each class in advance.
Policy brief At the end of the semester, students will submit a policy brief of some 2,500 words on a topic proposed by the student and approved by the instructor. Students have three due dates for the brief. First and second terms can be used for obtaining informal feedback. In such a case, indicate in the document title that it is a draft not to be formally evaluated. The third term is a strict deadline, and all submitted documents will be checked for plagiarism and graded. The drafts can be sent to mirna.jusic@fsv.cuni.cz , while the final version must be submitted in Moodle. If the final policy brief is not submitted by the third deadline, the student fails to pass the course. |
