Professor Ginger:



I was personally a little bit confused as to point number 5 on the

assignment sheet for issue assessment 1. I think while writing the rest of

the paper I addressed the topic of "parts of the policy process underway in

your case." I was wondering if students have had similar experience in the

past with this, and if you still wanted them to include a particular section

5. If possible, could you get back to me at your earliest convenience? Thank

you.
