(8/18) - Welcome to PLS 505 - Policy Analysis.  I will periodically post reminders and announcements on this website so you should check the website frequently.  The syllabus for this class can be viewed on the website or can be downloaded for printing by clicking here.  You should view the course schedule for the topics and dates that readings and assignments are due.  Please check the class web site and your email frequently as the course schedule may change. 

(8/18) - Class begins on August 29th. The first class will begin promptly at 6:30 PM with a panel discussion of city/county managers who will discuss a variety of topics related to the main themes of the class.  We will be joined by the students in the capstone course and will meet in LH 110.  When the panel discussion is over we will discuss the introductory readings and review the course requirements.  You should bring a copy of the syllabus.
