  4. Paper 3

  5. The Problem • What is the problem? • How do you know the problem exists? • What is the magnitude of the problem? • Why is this problem so important? Why should we care about this problem, in particular? • What are some of the causes of the problem? • What are some of the effects of the problem?

  6. The Experts • What do the people who have studied this issue say about the problem (these people need not be country-specific)? • What do they say has worked to address this issue, whether in your country of focus or elsewhere? • What do the people (or organizations) who have done work on this issue say about the problem and what might work to address it?

  7. The Alternatives • What are some of the different things that could be done to address the issue? • Where have the alternatives been tried? What were the results? • Why do you think they might work? • What are the pros and cons of the alternatives?

  8. The Solution • Which policy alternative do you recommend? • Why is this the best course of action? • What outcomes do you expect to see? • How will it work?

  9. Paper 3 • On what basis would you evaluate these alternatives, to arrive at your final recommended solution(s)? (This could be an amalgamation of a contextualized transfer of the solutions you found earlier, or an altogether new solution but justify why you need an all new solution) • What's the theory of change for your final policy solution(s)? What makes you confident of success? What are the possible unintended consequences of the solution you offer that the minister should be aware of?

  10. Peer Reviewing • Is the problem clearly defined? • Are the policy alternatives plausible? • Is the recommendation clear and well thought out? • Can you tell if the author is using either Bardach or a LogFrame? • Does the argument flow logically? • Other comments

  11. Course Wrap-Up • How has your thinking about international and comparative education changed since the beginning of the semester? • What are your biggest take-aways? • What did you find most useful from this course?

  12. Housekeeping • We will hold a writing workshop for Paper 3 on Friday 7 December from 9am - 1130am. Follow guidelines that I sent on Monday.
