Instructions:
You are expected to evaluate, critically analyse
and apply the information in your study material.
You therefore need to deliver well-structured and
well-presented arguments and solutions. Be wary of
making statements without substantiating and
motivating them. It is essential to provide practical
examples of the application of theory in the public
sector. Please note that you are not allowed to copy
content from sources verbatim as this would
constitute plagiarism, which is a disciplinary
offense. You therefore must re-write the content in
your own words. You may use extra information
sources. Note that Wikipedia, Facebook and
YouTube are not academic sources but may provide
valuable additional information about the real-live
context of public administration.

You must not communicate with fellow students
regarding your submission. No group work will be

of presentation, and integration of lesson content.
