Policy Writing

Policy Writing is an intensive workshop created to present the basics for writing common policy documents for both academic and professional endeavors. This intensive workshop will provide you with the foundation to continue your own work in the classroom this term and next, and in your careers. In order to promote your effectiveness as a communicator via writing, you will be called upon to participate in various activities that require critical analysis of current problems and policy issues. This will include group collaboration on topics, problem solving, and informal presentations of your group and individual processes. You will also be required to participate in discussions, peer review sessions, and serious self-critique.

It is my explicit aim to help you become better writers by providing you with skills and models to use in your own developing processes. By the end of the workshop, you should possess a greater understanding of how to write some basic documents required of policy students and professionals. You should also feel comfortable forming and expressing your viewpoints on different policy matters, and onsidering
multiple and diverse viewpoints regarding current topics.
