Workshop for Assignment 1

Assignment 1

• Essay on a policy based on your pathway theme

• 30% of overall mark

• 1,000 word (+/-10%)

• Due: 4 Mar 2pm (Tuesday)

Essay topic

• Describe a pathway-specific policy, or theory, issue in Rwanda and come up with two research questions that directly address it

How to address the essay topic

• Use policy that is given in-pathway

o e.g. Rwanda Vision 2050, 2020 etc.

o This may vary between pathways depending on pathway themes

▪ Eg. if finding a policy on your topic is a challenge in your pathway, your pathway lead may have instructed you  to look at a relevant theory instead.

• Give relevant details of the policy

o Use local lit./concepts where/if possible/relevant (see e.g. slides for lecture 1 in Bb)

o Make sure the reader understands what the policy is about

o Base this on your in-pathway readings and discussions

• Articulate clearly what is the issue/problem

o Draw on your in-pathway readings and lectures

o This does not have to be long, but should be clear

o Can be a simple statement of 1-2 sentences

How to address the essay topic, cont'd

• Use academic literature

o Make sure you link your policy issue to relevant academic literature

o This should be something from your in-pathway readings and discussions

o Academic lit. can be theoretical, empirical or both (use your in-pathway lecture/readings as a guide)

• Make sure you have two research questions

o At the end of your essay you should arrive at two interesting questions

o I.e. you have looked at the policy and relevant literature and you think these two questions may be relevant to ask in that context

• Aim to justify why these are relevant questions

o Justifying your two questions depends on what previous research says about issue X, e.g.

o You agree with arguments about policy issue X and provide an example to extend it

o You disagree with arguments about policy issue X and provide an example that shows this

o You have identified a gap in the arguments about policy issue X (something that is missing in previous research/discussion about policy issue X)
