Key Ideas and Practical Application
In each of the units of the course with assigned readings, class members post discussion of three “key ideas,” one from each of the assigned readings. The key ideas assignment is intended to encourage reflective reading and demonstrate application of the idea within the public sector. A key idea addresses what the student finds to be an important or useful concept. Each key idea entry assesses its importance, strengths and/or weaknesses, practical application, or points of interest or confusion.

Key ideas entries do not summarize entire assigned readings or the posted course notes for the unit.
