FINAL PROJECT FOR POLSCI

Sep 11, '08 12:47 AM for everyone

Political Science/ Politics and Government students (GCIC) may choose one (1) project for the final term which will be submitted on or before September 30, 2008. Maxiumum of 6 members for each group. NO LATE PAPERS WILL BE ACCEPTED. I am giving you seven (7) options. These are the suggested projects: 1. A survey of Filipino people's perception on any political issue. Conduct a survey to a specific group (e.g. first year college students, high school students, poor families) about their stand on a particular political issue in the Philippines (e.g. charter change, GMA's performance, reproductive health bill, federalism, role of the church in politics, corruption issues, etc.). The survey project must include the following: A. Profile of the Research Subjects (Who answered the survey? Why did you choose them to answer it? How many respondents?) B. Copy of the Survey Sheet/ Questionnaire C. Survey results D. Analysis of the Survey Results E. Recommendation

2. Policy Proposal. You may suggest a law or policy (which has not been proposed or approved in our legislature). (E.g. An Act to Abolish the Licensure Exam of Filipino Nurses). Be sure to provide the following: A. Introduction of your proposed law. Justify the necessity of the law you are proposing. B. Features/ content of your proposed law C. Beneficiaries of your proposed law (who will benefit?) D. Advantages and disadvantages of adopting the law E. Conclusion

3. A short film or documentary about any political issue in the Philippines. Casts and reporters should be the group members. The film or documentary should be ORIGINAL. This

project should be produced for your Pol Sci class only. (In other words, you may not submit your past projects in Socio, Psych, Rizal, etc.) Be honest. 4. An original website which contains your political views. Website should contain political issues and your original views. Pictures and multi-media components make the website more interesting and entertaining. 5. "My Political Philosophy." Do you consider yourself philosophical? Do you have unique or not-so-ordinary political thoughts? Then make an interesting article about your own political philosophy or views. Make sure that your views are original. You may quote other philosophers but you may not imitate their entire views. For this project, I am expecting a 4-pages double spaced paper in a folder. 6. Original Editorial Cartoons.Are you an artist? Can you draw editorial cartoons? Then compile at least two editorial cartoons that you originally made (2-3 artworks per group member). Needless to say, editorial cartoons should be something "political." Say something about your work. Submit it in a paper/illustration board/anywhere! Just be artistic and analytic. 7. Politics in Poetry. Are you a poet? Then express your literary creativity by writing poems/essays/short stories which contain political themes. You may wish to submit your compilation. All entries should be original. Again, be creative. GOODLUCK!
