About the Blog

I shall post videos, graphs, news stories, and other material. We shall use some of this material in class, and you may review the rest at your convenience. I encourage you to use the blog in these ways:

--To post questions or comments about the readings before we discuss them in class;
--To follow up on class discussions with additional comments or questions.
--To post relevant news items or videos.

There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges. This blog is on the open Internet, so post nothing that you would not want a potential employer to see.

Second Assignment, Fall 2021

Choose one:
  • Pick any significant domestic legislation that President Biden has signed or is pending before Congress. Applying what you have learned from reading Schuck so far, explain what could go wrong with its implementation.
  • Schuck published this book seven years ago. Pick any chapter and write a brief afterword. That is, how have developments since 2014 confirmed or disconfirmed his analysis?  (As an alternative, you may do the same with any chapter of the Stone book.)
  • Write on any relevant implementation topic of your choice, subject to my approval.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Instructions
  • Document your claims. Do not write from the top of your head.
  • Essays should be double-spaced and no more than four pages long. I will not read past the fourth page.
  • Cite your sources with endnotes in Chicago/Turabian style. Endnote pages do not count against the page limit.
  • Watch your spelling, grammar, diction, and punctuation. Errors will count against you.
  • Turn in essays to the class Sakai dropbox by 11:59 PM, MONDAY, OCTOBER 25 [NOTE DATE CHANGE]. I reserve the right to dock late essays one gradepoint for one day’s lateness, a full letter grade after that.
