-Next, the course will lay out immigration policies and weigh the push and pull of the debate about immigration reform.
-The optional fifth module traces the child protection system its beginnings to the present day and appraises the failures and strengths of the system.
The course is part of a sequence in social policy that has an HONORS TRACK. This track will prepare the learner for masters-level work in policy, which involves reading the literature, writing concise summaries and probing critiques. Over the sequence the learner will develop a policy analysis that will create a foundation for professional policy analyst assignments.
Very informative, particularly when we look at the history of our country's development in these areas.
It has a great outline with direct to the point facts. Making much easier to juggle a busy schedule willing a degree or certificate .
Some of the lectures had such low sound quality, I had to improvise to make it louder.
