Note on the TAs: This section of v181 is utilizing a new classroom management technique to help optimize learning and teaching quality through specialized Teaching Assistants. Each TA has assigned a specific set of tasks for the entirety of the semester. They are as follows:

• TA 1 will help deal with all administrative tasks (grading, attendance, etc.); maintaining an accurate, up-to-date course website; and ensuring course assignments get completed on time.
• TA 2 will help deal with all tasks dealing with the day-to-day functions of the course; handling group slides on presentation days; and all relational issues.

Please be sure to understand these two roles and reach out to the correct TA based on your needs.

Course Description: The policy-making and implementation process in the US is complex and effects the daily lives of citizens in a profound way. This course will introduce that process and highlight forces that have shaped some of the most salient policy battles in the last decade. 

 

Learning Outcomes: By the end of the semester, you will be able to:

1. Assess how various levels of government (federal, state and local) play a role in the public policy process on a particular issue as well as different branches of government (executive, legislative, judicial)
2. Conduct a basic stakeholder analysis, demonstrating that you understand the roles of stakeholders, coalitions, and the power centers in the US policy making process
3. Analyze how and why a policy issue emerged, and trace it through the policy cycle (agenda setting, policy formulation, policy adoption, implementation, and evaluation)
4. Distinguish different types of policies (e.g., laws versus regulations; taxes versus subsidies; long-range plans versus emergency responses in crisis situations) and how they are made and implemented
5. Write concisely, clearly, and persuasively on an issue, using evidence to support your argument
6. Objectively evaluate both sides of a policy issue
7. Work with peers collaboratively and productively on a complex issue

 

How much time should you be spending on this class: As this is a standard 3-credit semester length class, you are expected to spend an average of 6 or more hours outside of class per week on reading, studying, assignments, etc.

 

Course Themes: Throughout the semester, several key and interrelated themes will be repeated and reinforced:

1. Systems and Institutions

Understand the way the US policy system was designed and how it operates in reality, and how this process influences policy outcomes (e.g., each state has two Senators in the United States Senate and legislation must pass both the House and Senate, and be signed into law by the President).

2. Politics and Policy

Policy-making is an inevitable compromise between visions of ideal solutions (“the merits of the issue”) and realistic assessments of what is politically feasible (“politics”), given the perceptions and interests of stakeholders, powerful actors and public opinion.

3. Key Values

Public debate about issues is not entirely a factual dialogue involving evidence and data.  It entails appeals to key values such as efficiency, fairness, freedom, equity and justice.

4. People Make Decisions

Policy making is not pre-determined. Real people make decisions about policy that have real consequences. Thus, there is an important human, judgmental element to policy making as power is exercised.

 

Course Assignments: The course focuses on sequential graded assignments that students perform, sometimes alone but often in collaboration with student partners. To be successful, students will need to prepare for each class by completing the required readings from the textbook or assigned articles in Canvas. Expect to have an assignment due every class, and unless otherwise noted on Canvas the assignment is due by the start of class. The nature of the deliverables vary but might include actively participating in class discussion, presenting to the class on a topic, or writing policy memos. The last few weeks of class will be dedicated to student presentations of their policy term papers, which are conducted in groups.

Quizzes:

There will be a paper-based, in-class quiz at the beginning of every class session. Each quiz will be based on the required readings and assigned materials for that day.

These in-class quizzes will also serve as the attendance record for the course. Students must be present in class to complete the quiz and receive credit.

Individual Assignments:

Students will complete two individual writing assignments during the semester. These assignments will focus on the following topics:

• Taking Stock of the Affordable Care Act

• Designing an Improved Social Safety Net for the United States

These are the only assignments in this course that are individual. Each assignment must be completed independently and submitted as your own original work.

Group Activities: Each student will be randomly assigned to two teams: the Case Study Team and the Policy Paper Team.

1. Case Study Team:

Each team will prepare and deliver PowerPoint presentations on designated key issues. The key issues and allocation of subtopics will be decided by the TA in advance (before the due date). Teams have to focus on that and present only on that specific topic. 

For each presentation day, only one team member will present. All team members are expected to present at least once during the semester, and no student may present more than once. Teams must submit the name of their designated presenter to the TA in advance, as instructed.

If a designated presenter fails to present on their assigned day, they will receive a score of zero for that presentation. This penalty applies only to the absent presenter; other team members will still be eligible to earn their scores.

Presentation schedules will be communicated in advance through the assignment pages, and Canvas announcements, which will clearly indicate which teams are presenting on each date.

On days when your team is presenting, only the designated presenter should come forward to present. On days when your team is not presenting, all group members are expected to pay attention. To make sure there is active participation a minimum of TWO thoughtful questions must be asked throughout the class session. The two questions MUST come from TWO different group members. Failure to meet this participation requirement will result in a loss of points.

There will be one group paper to be written, edited, and submitted in the Case Study group: Evaluation of Yamamoto’s Plan from an Emergency Preparedness Perspective. This is the only paper to be written with your Case Study group, all other papers will be individual or with your Policy Paper group.

2. Policy Paper Team:

This team will select a policy-relevant topic and collaboratively prepare the final policy paper for the course. Teams will complete multiple assignment milestones throughout the semester, culminating in both a final written policy paper and a formal group presentation. Together, the policy paper submission and the policy paper presentation constitute the final examination for this class.

The final presentation must be delivered as a group presentation, and all team members are required to be present. Failure to attend the presentation without prior approval will result in the absent member receiving a zero (0) for the presentation. The presentation should be a clear and engaging culmination of the research, analysis, and work completed throughout the semester, presented in a professional and well-structured manner.

Students are expected to dress appropriately for the presentation, at a minimum adhering to business casual attire. The presentation is worth 15 points and counts toward the final course grade, so students should prepare accordingly.

During policy paper presentation days, all teams are required to ask at least one question to the presenting group in order to receive full participation credit. The TA will keep track of team participation, and failure to ask a question will result in a reduction in participation points, which are included in the final course grade.

At the end of the semester, students will also complete peer evaluations assessing team members’ contributions. Students who contribute significantly will be recognized accordingly, while free riders may face penalties. Teamwork is a critical component of this course, and active participation in both the policy paper and presentation is essential for success.

Final Term Paper and Presentations: November 16 - December 9

The final term paper is prepared gradually throughout the semester through group activity. The paper will involve analysis of a policy issue of your group's choosing, upon approval by the Professor. You will work in a randomly assigned group of 3 to 5 students. Expectations for group papers will be no more than 6,000 words (not including references and visuals in this word count). Final papers should be submitted on Canvas double-spaced, size 12, Times New Roman font.  A minimum number of graphs and other visuals are required (and, in fact, greatly encouraged generally), to further justify your analysis. Be sure to appropriately cite your graphs and visuals, and feel free to create your own if appropriate.

The final submission is expected to be a polished argument on the proposed issue, solution, and implementation. The grading of the final paper will consider the professionalism of writing and editing of sections, the quality of visuals and use of graphs, as well as the proper documentation of factual claims within the paper and citations.

There will be regular check-in assignments throughout the semester to ensure that your team is making progress on the paper. This allows for a more manageable project, as well as allows for instructor guidance throughout the process. More information regarding each submission is in the Assignments tab on Canvas.

Feel free to consult with classmates, the Professor or the TA for additional tips or constructive peer review.

• Attendance
  • Attendance and active participation are critical components of this course, as they significantly impact your grade. To succeed, you must stay engaged in discussions, participate actively, and come prepared by completing required readings and assignments.
  • The TA will provide a rotating list of student names for each class session. The professor will use this list to call on students during class discussions.  
    • Attendance will be tracked via an in-class quiz and through the class discussion. Even if a student completes the in-class quiz for attendance credit, but does not engage in the class discussion when called upon, they will be counted absent.
  • Excused Absences Without Documentation:
    • Each student is allowed three absences without documentation for sickness or family emergencies (religious holidays do not count toward this number).
    • No proof or documentation is required for these three absences. However, notify the TA of your absence.
    • You are still responsible for completing any due assignments and contacting the TA to reschedule work missed during these absences. No make up opportunity will be given for the missed in-class quiz unless extreme circumstances.
  • Exceeding the Three Allowed Absences:
    • Beyond the three excused absences, you will receive a half-letter grade reduction for every additional class missed. For example: If your grade is an A and you miss a fourth class, it will drop to an A-. If you miss a fifth class, it will drop to a B, and so on.
  • Additional Excused Absences with Documentation:
    • Additional absences will only be excused if valid proof is provided, such as a doctor’s note or evidence of a family emergency.
•  Make-up Exams: This course has no exams.
• Late Assignments: Assignments are permitted a 24-hour grace period with no penalty. After that, you will decrease 10% every day until a TA-determined cap is reached.
• Technology Use:
  • Students may use their own laptops and technologies to take notes during lectures and presentations. Other uses (such as finding relevant information during class) are permitted as they contribute to the educational quality of the course.
  • Students are prohibited from using technology to look up answers to the True-False Quizzes during the beginning of each class.
•  Late Withdrawal:
  • For full-term classes, the late W deadline is Sunday, Oct 26. See https://calendars.registrar.indiana.edu/official-calendar/ for other terms and Spring’s dates. 
  • After the auto-W deadline, withdrawal will be significantly limited, and you will need permission to withdraw and must meet requirements established by O’Neill.

 

Academic Integrity: The IU Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct ensures your rights as an IU student are protected. While you’re entitled to respect and civility, you also have responsibilities to the campus community. The Code outlines these responsibilities and the university’s expectations for your behavior as an IU student. The Code may be found here: https://studentcode.iu.edu/

 

O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs

Student Honor Code

Introduction: The O’Neill School takes matters of honesty and integrity seriously. We expect O’Neill students will, at all times, maintain academic integrity and civil and professional standards of conduct.

Scope: O’Neill’s Student Honor Code applies to all courses and programs offered by O’Neill, and to all students who participate in O’Neill classes and programs, regardless of whether students are admitted to O’Neill. Students studying at O’Neill are expected to continue their commitment to ethical behavior in all their endeavors, including, but not limited to, coursework inside and outside of O’Neill, internships, community service, and overseas study.

O’Neill’s Student Honor Code incorporates IU’s Code of Student Right, Responsibilities, & Conduct and extends to matters of civility and professional conduct, including, expectations about class attendance, punctuality, participation in class, and decorum in class and at other school functions.

Academic Conduct Requirements All students enrolled in O’Neill courses are subject to the academic misconduct provisions found in the IU Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, & Conduct.

Academic misconduct is defined as any activity that tends to undermine the academic integrity of the institution. The IU Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, & Conduct lists and defines many types of academic misconduct, including cheating, fabrication, plagiarism, interference, violation of course rules, and facilitating academic dishonesty.

Academic misconduct includes the use of any technology or assistance, including AI, that is not permitted by the instructor.

Civility and Professional Conduct Requirements: O’Neill requires that all students treat others with mutual respect and behave professionally in the classroom and during all academic and non-academic activities.

These civility and professional conduct requirements foster an appropriate atmosphere inside and outside the classroom:

• Students must act in accordance with the O’Neill School mission and values.
• Students must regularly attend and be fully prepared for class, including completing readings.
• Students must not behave in a way that interrupts or distracts from teaching or learning. For example, students must be punctual in their arrival to class and be present and attentive for the duration of the class. They must not sleep, do work for another class, or wander in and out of the classroom, pack up, or leave class early (unless an emergency exists).
• Students must abide by the course policy regarding use of electronic devices in the classroom, including a requirement that no electronics are allowed or that students are not permitted to use devices for non-class related purposes.
• Students must responsibly participate in class activities and during team meetings for course assignments.
• Students must attend scheduled meetings with faculty or staff, events for which they have RSVPed, interviews with prospective employers, and student organization meetings.
• Students must address faculty members, other students, and others appropriately and with respect, whether in person, in writing, or in electronic communications.
• Students must show tolerance and respect for others.
• Students must practice respect and responsible stewardship of the physical resources of the school, refraining from destroying or defacing school property, integrating practices of sustainability, and contributing to a clean and orderly physical environment in all buildings, classrooms, offices, and meeting spaces.
• Students must comply with the personal misconduct responsibilities within the IU Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, & Conduct.

Reporting: Students must abide by the O’Neill Student Honor Code themselves and hold their peers to the same standards. Students should report suspected instances of academic, civility, or professional misconduct to the instructor of the course. Students should report suspected instances of personal misconduct to the IU Office of Student Conduct

Intellectual Inquiry and Debate: In keeping with the University’s adoption of the Chicago Principles, this class will seek to cultivate an environment of free intellectual inquiry, debate, and constructive criticism. The instructor will guide discussions to advance the course's educational objectives, and students are encouraged to listen to one another and engage thoughtfully with differing viewpoints, even when unpopular or controversial views are expressed. The mere expression of views, words, symbols, images, or thoughts that some people find offensive does not violate free speech norms if such expression arises for legitimate academic and/or pedagogical purposes. The class will also seek to cultivate an environment in which people can change their minds, and in which students who are uncertain or need time to formulate their thoughts can claim the space to do so.

 

Use of generative AI (such as ChatGPT) in this class.  Using AI to assist in completing assignments will be allowed only in the following ways:

• AI tools may be used as a resource in this course to gather ideas and find information while researching relevant papers and presentations. Note: AI may not be cited within papers or presentations, all factual information must be referenced from authoritative sources with proper page number citations.

All other use of AI is prohibited, including uploading information generated by an AI, verbatim. Students are responsible for checking that the information generated by AI is factual, no exception will be made for students who turn in false information.  

If you use AI in an unauthorized manner, you will be committing plagiarism* and will be subject to penalties in this class and sanctions by Indiana University. 

WARNING: Submitting any questions, assignments, notes, slides, or other instructor-produced course materials into Generative AI without permission is a violation of the faculty member’s exclusive rights and will be reported to the Dean of Students as academic misconduct.

 

*Plagiarism: Plagiarism is defined as presenting someone else’s work, including the work of other students, as one’s own. Any ideas or materials taken from another source for either written or oral use must be fully acknowledged, unless the information is common knowledge. https://studentcode.iu.edu/responsibilities/academic-misconduct.html.

 

Course Materials—Instructor’s Exclusive Rights.

The faculty member teaching this course holds the exclusive right to distribute, modify, post, and reproduce course materials, including all written materials, study guides, lectures, assignments, exercises, and exams. While you are permitted to take notes on the online materials and lectures posted for this course for your personal use, you are not permitted to re-post in another forum, upload to AI, distribute, reproduce content from this course, or sell the instructor’s course materials (including notes and study guides) without the express written permission of the faculty member.

Violations of this policy will be reported to the Dean of Students as academic misconduct (violation of course rules). Sanctions for academic misconduct may include a failing grade on the assignment for which the notes/study guides are being sold, a reduction in your final course grade, or a failing grade in the course, among other possibilities.

Additionally, you should know that selling a faculty member’s course using IU email, or via Canvas may also constitute a violation of IU information technology and IU intellectual property policies; additional consequences may result.

 

Schedule of Assignments: A selection of required readings will be assigned prior to each class and be made available in the course modules, unless stated otherwise by the Professor or TA. A True-False quiz will be taken at the beginning of each class to check for topic comprehension.

A schedule of assignments can be obtained through the Course Calendar tab on the left side of the screen and below using Canvas's built-in list system. All assignments requiring a deliverable will be made available to students at least one week in advance of its due date.

The schedule is subject to limited change in the event of extenuating circumstances.

 

In this course the instructor wants to make sure you connect with resources that will help you be successful. If you receive a message through the Student Engagement Roster that asks you to consult with your advisor, please know that the message is sent to both you and your academic advisor, who will follow up and view the feedback from this course
