Hello everyone -

As you know, the NR 104 midterm exam has been rescheduled and will take
place on Thurs March 2 instead of on Tues Feb 29.

Please plan to attend the review session on Monday Feb 28 at 4:30 pm in
Aiken 116/117.  Come with your questions and class notes.  I will have your
papers available for you to pick up at this session.

For Tuesday's class, we will pick up loose ends related to two readings from
the government portion of the class:

Vig and Kraft, Ch 2, Rabe, "Power to the States: The Promise and Pitfalls of
Decentralization."

Bartlett, "Evaluating Environmental Policy Success and Failure,"
(distributed in class on 2/17).

Please take some time before Tuesday's class to remind  yourself of the
material in these readings.

For the reading on states, think about the appropriateness of
decentralization and how moving power to the states might affect
fragmentation and gridlock on policy issues.

For the reading on evaluating policy success, see if you understand the
three categories of evaluation that Bartlett identifies (we discussed these
in the salmon issue) and how you can apply his framework to the issue you
wrote about in your Issue Assessment 1.
