Assignment Question
Your role is to identify a public policy issue of choice for analysis that leads to change. Take a look at the materials provided for this course or meet with me if you are having trouble selecting and narrowing a policy topic.
The policy analysis should be written to a target stakeholder. You will start your assignment by writing an analysis of the policy issue and identifying alternative policies.
Comparing and contrasting similar policies will help you develop critical thinking with reference to policy analysis.
Evaluate and analyze the policy you are studying using cost-benefit analysis, stake holder analysis, data analysis, or analysis of inputs, outputs, and outcomes. Then, provide your recommendations. Evaluating will help you present the best perspective.
