QSS 30.24 Advanced Policy Research

Lawmakers often craft public policies to address perceived problems. Determining whether policies or other types of social inventions truly work (i.e., cause the intended effects) entails program evaluation and related forms of policy analysis. This applied research seminar focuses on designing and conducting empirical programmatic evaluations with an emphasis on research design principles that make documenting cause and effect relationships more successful.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
