Student Learning Outcome 2: Students will demonstrate an ability to participate in and contribute to the public policy process.
Topics that would demonstrate your mastery of this SLO include:
how public problems are defined and the challenges involved in doing so in order to determine responsive and viable solutions.
the steps in the public policy-making process including those related to the implementation and evaluation of public programs.
the variety of ways in which public administrators may be involved in the policy-making process and the importance of them doing so
the importance of relying on credible and unbiased research to make and evaluate policy decisions.
Keeping the topics above in mind listen to the assigned podcasts:
GovLove – A Podcast About Local Government: Engaging the Entire Community on Planning & Middle Housing on Apple Podcasts
NCSL Podcasts: David Toscano on How States Shape the Nation | LTIS Episode 6 on Apple Podcasts 
AND
NCSL Podcasts: Building Democracy: The Story of State Legislatures | Episode 6 on Apple Podcasts   
Then, create a case study to discuss the listed topics linking them to the information and/or themes presented in the podcasts.  Your case study should also include an analysis of one of the definitions of a public problem presented in either of the podcasts and a discussion of the viability of the suggested policy responses.  Your case study should be single-spaced, and well-written, including an introduction and a conclusion.
