LoadingLoadingLoadingLoadingThe same problem in two places, and a comparison
Online only
You pick one problem, two places, and you write what is actually comparable. The point is the comparison, not a universal recommendation. GlobalMind University teaches this award fully online. The 36 credit hours on this page are the sum of the modules listed in the curriculum, so the transcript and the prospectus describe the same load. MA Comparative Public Policy is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 18 months, and the credit total is 36. Students move from The Problem through The Problem; Two Settings; What Does Not Travel; Comparison, and finish on Comparison. Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students say who decides, under which rule, and draft a note a professional could read. Reading is a statute or instrument, a case or policy paper, and a commentary. The artefact a marker expects is a memo or draft clause with sources and a revision note. The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: State the problem narrowly Describe two institutional settings Say what is not comparable Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass. This course is academic. It does not admit the student to practise law and it is not a qualifying law degree. The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.
Assessment is coursework on each taught module plus the final project named in the curriculum. Results are recorded as credit hours against each module. Fees are the figures published by GlobalMind University for this award; this page does not add a separate tuition claim.
