A couple of weeks ago I posted to the list mentioning a very good article on the use of policy briefs as a teaching and assessment tool. I have just today laid hands on the article in question:
"The Policy Brief: Building Practical and Academic Skills in International Relations and Political Science" by James D. Boys and Michael F Keating, published in the journal Politics: 2009 Vol 29(3) 201-208
As I mentioned, however, the brief can be used as an assignment in any area of policy decision-making, not just political science.
Best,
John

Mirja asks about teaching argumentation. I have been scouring the mounds of documents on my desktop for some time in hope of finding again an excellent article published in a political science journal by two political scientists in a London university and passed on to me by a helpful student about using policy briefs as a teaching tool at undergraduate level.
