The Research Paper is the major assignment for our course and is worth 25% of the overall course grade.
It must be a minimum of 12 pages, and no more than 15 pages, in length (not including the cover page, table of contents, charts, tables, images, and references) using double-spacing, twelve-point font and standard width margins.
The Research Paper will rely on the previously completed and submitted Proposal which can be repurposed and serve as the initial introductory pages of the Research Paper. The Research Paper must be a holistic work demonstrating considerable research, writing and thinking on a substantive Canadian public policy (or possibly public administration) topic.
