Activities\/Class format<\/strong>
\nThis 3-credit course will utilize a combination of didactic lectures, required readings, research and presentation, as well as hearing summaries.
\nDidactic lectures<\/strong>
\nFor each class there will be a brief lecture of the weekly topic, which will be followed by class discussion in which the class is expected to participate and demonstrate familiarity with the readings.\u00a0 Guest lecturers related to the topic of the week will be invited to speak in approximately half of the classes.
\nRequired readings<\/strong>
\nThe assigned readings will average 50 pages per week with a greater emphasis in the beginning of the class.\u00a0 Students are expected to do the readings before class.\u00a0 While it is not expected that the student have a command of the specific weekly topic, it is expected that the student have a grasp of the fundamental ideas and concepts of the readings in order to be an active participant in class discussion.\u00a0 Two\u00a0 pop quizzes will be given on the readings.
\nPresentation and Research Paper<\/strong>
\nThe culmination of the course will be oral and written testimony before a \u201cpseudo\u201d Congressional health care committee.\u00a0 Students will present five minutes of oral testimony and be prepared to answer questions from a panel of \u201clegislators\u201d.\u00a0 Hearing summaries are expected to last no longer than one hour.\u00a0 A 2-3 page written summary will be expected one week before testimony is scheduled.\u00a0 All students will be required to submit a more extensive 20-25 page written testimony due the week of finals.
\nHearing summaries<\/strong>

\nLearning Objectives<\/strong>
