(6/21) - Final Grades are now posted.  Enjoy the rest of the summer!

(5/18) - Welcome to the Summer '11 version of PLS 308 - Public Administration.  Given the small class size, this course is structured as a hybrid that combines traditional class lectures and discussions with online content and individual assignments and a small project that provide an opportunity to provide feedback.  When the class is not meeting as a group, I am available during the scheduled class time by appointment to discuss the readings and to provide help with your assignments.  I will also periodically post reminders and announcements so you should check this website frequently but be sure you are on the summer '11 version of the course.  I will also send materials via email so be sure to check your UNCW email daily.

(5/18) -  The syllabus can be viewed on the website or can be downloaded by clicking here.  You should view the course schedule for dates that readings and assignments are due.  Please check the class web site and your email frequently as the course schedule may change.

(5/18) - Since this class involves writing a long report, I advise you read this recent article in the Journal of Policy Analysis and Management (JPAM) that has a number of useful writing tips (Download). This website also provides useful style guidelines  (Click here).
