Course documents

The primary assignment for this course is a policy brief. This will require thinking about it all term. The proposal for the policy brief is due Thursday of week 4, April 26th. Please email it to me or if you are in class, bring three paper copies.

Part of the final assignment is to create a storymap, or web friendly version, of your policy brief. The assignment sheet for that is below, as well as several tutorials on how to make a map for your storymap. (the lingo is confusing. A story map is a platform to make a web friendly story. the map is a map you can embed within it).
