Week 12 / Week of April 5
Budgets and service delivery. Public administration. Chapter 8. Survey!
You’re in the home stretch everyone… just two more chapters to read, your research project to complete, and a final. This week, please read chapter 8 on Budgeting and Service Delivery and respond to the Blog #16 prompt below.
· Blog entry #16: It can be said that a budget is a statement of values. What values underlie the way your CP gets and spends its money or resources? Which Hallmarks, if any, are expressed in the way your CP manages its budgeting and service delivery? If it’s helpful, relate this concept to your own personal experience – in what ways does your own personal budget of time and/or money reflect your values?
You’re also ready to prepare a draft of your survey. Just like you did in your Research Methods class, please prepare a full and complete draft of the survey exactly as you plan to use when you conduct it. That means your questions should be in exactly the words you plan to use, the format you plan to use, the order you plan to use, and laid out on the page with whatever introductory statements you plan to use. You may refer to your Methods project to remind yourself of this final format. If you did not take a Research Methods class, please let me know so we can walk through this together in more detail. Then please send me your survey by email for review. If you have not yet completed your “Method” section draft, you’ll need complete this and send it to me as well. Do not conduct your survey until I have approved both your survey instrument and your proposed method.
