Dear SAE 550 Class Members-- As mentioned in class, Case Study #10 is a sample student paper. As such, it includes a thorough analysis of the Political Facts Of Life (FOLs) for the Sardar Sarovar Dam project. This means that this is an easy homework assignment, as most of the work has already been accomplished for you! But a number of students are confused by the ease of this assignment, so here's some rules for completing Homework #10: (1) Please don't just copy-and-paste FOL examples from the paper. Yes, you can use what's in the paper but PLEASE express your FOL analysis in your own words. (2) The paper provides a number of examples for each of the five primary FOLs, and several examples of many of the so-called "additional" FOLs. Please don't use ALL of the paper's analyses; as with prior homework assignments, only show TWO different analyses for each of the five primary FOLs (and in abbreviated/bulletized form) and pick only one example of any one of the "additional" FOLs. (3) The author gave his own "name" for each of the FOLs. You don't have to use his terminology unless you want to. (4) You CANNOT use any of the three proposed "new" FOLs presented in the paper for extra credit. To earn an extra credit point for this assignment, you'll have to come up with your own "new" proposed FOL. Dr. Elliot Axelband axelband@rand.org axelband@usc.edu Ken Cureton (TA) cureton@usc.edu
