| Assignment 1 - Hometown Analysis | Methods of Policy Analysis |
A critical part of creating policy is the data gathering process. What data can you find quickly and analyze? What do the data mean? What story can you tell using reliable data? What data do you need? Using your hometown as the subject of your investigation, assume that you are a policy analyst and you work for the new mayor or the new town or city council. What data can you use to tell a story about your hometown? Where is it located? How many people live there? What does it provide in terms of resources to the state? |
