addition, you have read the course text and course readings, reviewed
videos, and researched additional material for each week’s assignments
and this paper. This week, you will put all of those outlines, readings,
reviews, and research together to evaluate policymaking and government
program administration into one Final Paper.
Reflect on what you have
learned about the key structures, systems, roles, and processes that
embody our national government. Think about the strengths and
weaknesses, advantages and disadvantages, and positive and negative
impacts of these aspects of our democracy. Use what you have learned so
far to evaluate a specific policy of our national government and
recommend ways to enhance what works and repair what is not working
well. It is important that your Final Paper utilizes your previous
research and assignments, including the feedback that you received from
the Ashford Writing Center in Week 4. The assignment should also
showcase what you have learned in the course. While your previous
assignments will serve as a strong base for this assignment, it is very
important that you implement feedback from your instructor and the
Ashford Writing Center, as well as further expand on the material.
