(*)Students who have received a failing grade, or who wish to retake the course to improve their grade, must declare their intention to retake the course before the next semester so that a retake opportunity can be offered. They will then repeat the course through independent study, studying the literature independently from a specially prepared reading list, and demonstrating their competence in a written or oral examination at the end of the semester. The retake option is not a substitute for the regular course. It is only offered to students who have received a grade in the regular course.
The specific policy field on which this class focuses is variable. This retake option will retain the policy-field specialization of the regular class offering within one cohort (i.e. two years). Once the regular class is offered again after two years, the substantive policy-field focus may change, and students will retake the class with the new content.
