The Policy Research Paper is a five unit-long project that allows you the opportunity to examine an issue of current
relevance to local or national public policy making. Policy papers typically have one main agenda: address a current issue
or policy and propose/evaluate alternative policies that seek to improve the current state.
Policy papers tend to be very methodical, as a similar process is used each time to evaluate the different policies you are
advocating to your client. While literature papers focus primarily on textual analysis and building one’s argument, policy
papers focus much more on organization, thoroughness, and execution. Basically, if your client only has 15 minutes to
read your policy memo during his or her commute from the office to city hall, you want to make it easy for him or her to
navigate through your paper.
The Policy Research Paper should contain a comprehensive assessment of the problem, the proposed (or actual) policy,
and the potential (or actual) consequences of implementation of that policy. When you write your paper, you should think
of yourself as a staff person who must advise a policy maker facing a problem that must be resolved in the near future. As
this staff person, adopt one of the perspectives of public management as presented in this module, and frame your
responses around this approach.
The structure of public policy papers is different from typical papers and requires certain elements and sections in addition
to the traditional thesis, introduction, and conclusion.
When writing your public policy paper, make sure to include the following sections:
 Executive Summary: This goes at the very front of your paper and is a summary or abstract of your analysis. It is
essential that you include your policy recommendation here.
 Introduction: Explains to your audience why the issue/policy you have chosen to investigate is important and
relevant and what the current policy is. References to other research done on this issue can be included here as
well.
 Criteria: Let the reader know what criteria you are using to evaluate your policies. Economic feasibility, political
feasibility, and environmental impact are common criteria. Criteria should also be unique to your chosen
policy/issue.
 Alternatives: These are the policies you are analyzing and evaluating in your paper. Alternative policies seek to
improve on current policy and/or approach issues from different perspectives. These alternatives are evaluated on
the criteria you have listed out above.

 Projected Outcomes and Tradeoffs: This section can be included in the evaluation of each alternative policy or set
apart on its own. Much of your individual analysis and opinion falls under this section, as you are called upon to
not only predict the effects and efficiency of your policies, but also assess the negatives and positives of your
alternatives.
 Recommendation and Discussion: Here is where you finally decide among your alternatives and advocate your
policy. Remember not to simply repeat what you have covered under Alternatives and Projected Outcomes and
Tradeoffs, but explain why your client should follow your analysis and enact the policy you have chosen.
Your paper must:
 be a minimum of 700 words;
 follow APA style; and
 include a cover page containing the tile of the assignment (Policy Research Paper), your name, and the university
name. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

Based on the book, The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien (abut the Vietnam War). Discuss the differences between a memoir and fiction. Must explore one or more of the following questions: Is it acceptable to invent scenes or dialogue when writing memoir? If so, must the author let the reader know what is factual, and what is not? Did O’Brien’s unique style create make his novel more powerful in capturing the ways of the Vietnam War, or does it make his novel a weaker one? Use examples from novel to prove position.
Paper must also have: 1. an introduction that introduces your position and evidence with a hook and proper thesis sentence. 2. At least 3 points that include textual evidence and an exploration of why you chose to include these important parts of the book in the paper. 3. A conclusion that reinforces your ideas and then connects their importance to society today. 4. Between each new idea you must use transition words and phrases that link your ideas and guide the reader.

Assignment 3.1: Importance of Audience Analysis
Importance of Audience Analysis
Objectives
• Employ audience analysis techniques
• Devise strategies for adapting to audience feedback
Assignment Overview
In this case study assignment, you will explore audience analysis and its importance and value when performed before, during, and after giving a speech.
Deliverables
Answers to exercise questions
Step 1 Read and analyze the case study below.
• Case study: You are preparing a persuasive speech. The goal of your speech is to convince an audience of the value of allowing employees to work from home at least one day per week.
• Audience analysis before the speech: As you are starting to prepare your speech, you decide to send a survey to the audience members to determine some information about them. Eighty percent of the audience members respond to your survey. Your compilation of the responses to the survey questions are indicated in the following table:
Question % of Respondents Who Answered Yes % of Respondents Who Answered No
Do you live more than 10 miles from your workplace? 70% 30%
Does the majority of the type of work that you do involve working on tasks that could be done from virtually any location? 50% 50%
Is your work performance judged primarily on tasks you perform versus managing others? 80% 20%
Do you believe conserving energy is an initiative that you should try to support? 70% 30%
Does your work environment contain more potential distractions than your home environment? 40% 60%

• Audience analysis during the speech: While you are delivering your speech, you pay attention to the nonverbal signals the audience members provide. The following table summarizes the audience member behaviors that you notice:

Your Statement Audience Behavior
Allowing workers to telecommute at least one day a week can lead to increased employee productivity. One audience member crossed their arms and looked at the clock on the wall.
Telecommuting saves gasoline and helps reduce traffic and air pollution. A few audience members maintain eye contact with you and nod.
Allowing employees to telecommute potentially allows employers to reduce their real estate footprint. About half the audience members look confused.
Setting up a home office and adhering to a normal work schedule is one way to be productive when working from home. Most audience members look interested, and a few sit up straight and have questioning expressions.

• Audience analysis after the speech: After you finish your speech, you go into the lobby where refreshments are being served. As you wait in line, one of the audience members approaches you and says:
“I enjoyed your speech. There are a few points that you made that I am not sure I agree with, but overall I can see some potential value in allowing employees to telecommute one day per week. Can you recommend any sources where I might be able to find data to show to some other managers at my company that support your claim that allowing workers to telecommute can lead to increased productivity?”
Step 2 Answer the questions.
Copy the following three sets of questions about the case study and paste them into a document, then address the following:
Before
• Which survey question and corresponding results provide the most evidence of audience support for your goal prior to the audience members hearing your speech? Justify your answer.
• Which question and corresponding results provide the most evidence that it might be difficult to achieve the goal for your speech? Justify your answer.
• What would you do during the speech preparation phase to maximize the likelihood of convincing this audience that your position is valid? Provide some specific steps you would take to prepare your speech to meet the needs of the audience based on the survey results.
During
• Which audience behaviors during the speech seem to indicate support for the statements you made? What could you do during your speech delivery to capitalize on the apparent support?
• Which audience behaviors during the speech seem to indicate opposition to the statements that you made? Describe what you would do during your speech delivery to try to overcome the apparent opposition.
• Do any of the listed audience behaviors imply anything other than support or opposition? If so, which behaviors? What would you do during your speech delivery to respond to this behavior or these behaviors?
After
• Assume you are going to deliver the same speech to a different audience the following week. Based on the verbal feedback you receive after the speech from the audience member, what steps would you take to improve the speech for your next delivery?
• If none of the audience members approach you after the speech, what would you do? Why is it important to get feedback from audience members after you deliver a speech?

Casey, a 24-year-old Caucasian woman, is seeking counseling for anxiety and depression that she attributes to problems in her current

relationship. She and her partner have been having an increasing number of arguments recently, typically about Casey’s behavior when they go out

and about Casey drinking too much.
In response to questions about her use of substances, Casey describes herself as a “social drinker.” Her typical pattern is to consume 3-6

drinks during each of 2-3 drinking occasions per week. She began drinking regularly (1-2 times per week) and heavily (to intoxication) at the

age of 13, usually in the company of an older cousin or school friends. She continued this pattern through high school but cut back during her

first two years of college due to lack of money to buy alcohol and more difficult access.
During her junior and senior years, Casey “came out” as a lesbian to her parents and family. She also resumed drinking heavily. After graduation

from college, Casey and her partner of 3 years (Angie, age 24) moved into an apartment together, as both began working full-time. Casey and

Angie are “out” at work and with both families of origin.
Casey reports that they both decreased their drinking at this point, due to concerns about their finances and interest in starting their new

careers. Both partners gradually increased the frequency and quantity of their drinking, as they became involved with a social group of older

(late 30’s) lesbians and began routinely going to a gay bar.
