For Monday, please read Davidson, ch. 12.
Peer evaluation: On Monday, April 2 (the Monday after simulation) please bring in a short memo in which you identify three or four Gov 101 participants who did a particularly good job. Give a couple of sentences to each person you name, explaining why she or he stood out. Give special attention to those who did their work behind the scenes. Please take some care with these memos. In addition to using them for evaluating the assignment, I save them so that I may quote them in future letters of recommendation. Peer evaluations are anonymous: please bring in hardcopy and do not put your own name on the sheet.
Writeup: In analyzing your role in the simulation, please cover these points:
- How well did your positions and goals match those of your real-life counterpart?
- What methods did you use? In the circumstance that you dealt with, would your counterpart have done the same?
- What obstacles did you face?
- What did you achieve?
- How did the simulation both resemble and differ from the real world?
- Overall, what did you learn?
- Essays should be double-spaced, and between 5 and 6 pages long. I will not read past the 6th page. (Supporting materials do not count against the page limit.)
- Submit the writeups as Word documents, not pdfs.
- Cite outside sources with Turabian endnotes.
- Watch your spelling, grammar, diction, and punctuation. Errors will count against you.
- Return essays to the class Sakai dropbox by 11:59 PM, Friday April 13. Your grade for the simulation will drop one gradepoint for one day's lateness, a full grade after that.
