Summer Class: PUBL 610-01 Evaluation of Policy Interventions

My name is Lina Martínez and I'm alumni of the master and Ph.D public policy program (2012). Since I finished the program I have been in my home country, Colombia, holding a position of professor in public policy and director of an observatory in public policy. Last year I was kindly invited to give a talk in the department and the option to teach a summer class came up.
 
The School of Public Policy has approved a 2018 summer class which I will teach, if there is enough enrollment:  PUBL 610-01 Evaluation of Policy Interventions.    See the summer listings: www.summer.umbc.edu. Registration begins March 5, 2018.

The class will have a strong focus on the practical issues of evaluation. The class is based on the experience I gained working at The World Bank and Inter-American Development Bank. I can say by experience, that this kind of issues are not taught in most public policy programs, but are pivotal when working in public policy issues and the public sector.
 
The class will be a hybrid class in the second summer session (early July – early August) for 4 weeks and 3 credits. We will meet in the classroom in the evenings  twice a week and other work will be online.
 
To have the class run, it is necessary to have at least 6 students. We´re sending this email  out again in order to have an idea if enough students are interested on taking the class.
 
I´m attaching the syllabus for you to have an idea of the contents of the class.   
 
Please if you are interested, email Sally Helms and let her know of your interest.  You do NOT have to be in the Public Policy MPP or PhD in order to take this course.  Registration begins March 5, 2018. Please register as early as possible so this course can run.  www.summer.umbc.edu
