Module Seven : Project

Please note that this Project assignment is similar to,
but not the same as, this module's Web Work assignment.

As we learned in the module seven lecture slides all programs are manifestations of policy of one kind or another. Using the web resources you discovered in this module's Web Work mini-lecture you will find 2 policies which relate to your chosen program or service. If you have not yet completed the Module Seven Web Work section please do so now.

You will use the mini-lecture (and the links it contains) to locate 2 policies or information resources which pertain to your chosen project topic or program.

1. Download Lecture and Read
The mini-lecture notes may be downloaded/viewed by clicking here. The hyperlinks (web addresses) listed in the mini-lecture are active and may be clicked to take you to the site described.

Download / View Mini-Lecture in MS PowerPoint format

Download / View Mini-Lecture in Adobe Acrobat format

2. Explore Recommended Sites
Using the links listed in the mini-lecture slides explore the variety of policy resources available to you. To save time any sites to which you wish to return should either be "Bookmarked" or added to your "Favorites List".

- In Netscape Navigator you can create a "Bookmark" by pressing Ctrl-D or by going to the Bookmark menu and selecting "Add Bookmark"

- In MS Internet Explorer you can add a web page to your "Favorites List" by going to the Favorites menu and selecting "Add to Favorites"

3. Locate Resources
Using the resources covered in the mini-lecture notes identify 2 policies or information sources which relate to your program or service.

4. Submit Work
For each of the two sources you located in the previous 3 steps answer the following questions:

- Cite the Source (be as specific as possible and include the web address if possible)

- Write a Summary (write a 1 paragraph summary of the source in your own words)

- Describe the Source (describe how this policy or data source relates to your program or service and how it might achieve its goal)

Write up your responses and email them to your teacher or TA.
