Politics And Perspectives (Field Experience Log)

You must “attend” 1 policy event, at least approximately 1 hour in length.

The event may be online and it must have a health policy focus. Online health policy events/ webinars will be posted from which you may choose. Event must be health-related.

GENERAL GUIDELINES:
1. At the event, take notes, and then write up an account and analysis of the event, using the template for field experience logs (below), and the Field Experience Rubric.

FIELD LOG GUIDELINES:

As a way of demonstrating completion of this course requirement, you must submit, in writing, field logs that detail certain aspects of the event. The template for field experience logs is below.

· Each event log should be three to five double-spaced pages of text.

· Provide only a brief summary of the event itself.

· The analysis section should be 550 to 800 words, and be the most developed component of the report. In the analysis section, you can write about the process of policy being made at this event, and/or you can write about the actual health policy issue being discussed/considered.

· Your analysis should reference at least two sources. They can be from the learning materials in this course or other sources, but should be current (within the last 3 months).

· Use APA format for citations and references.

TEMPLATE FOR FIELD EXPERIENCE LOGS :
· The name of the event/meeting and who has sponsored it.

· The name of the event/meeting and who has sponsored it.

· Place, date, time, and length of hearing/meeting/event.

· Topic under discussion.

ORDER CUSTOM, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPER

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
