Select at least three topics (voter, federal, and state legislation) on poverty in North Carolina and how these
three topics affect it. The information you incorporate in your weekly summaries may include material as it
relates to the three domains of learning: cognitive, affective, and conative.
Cognitive learning relates to the action or process of knowing. In other words, what did you learn about public
administration this week that you did not already know?
Affective learning relates to how you felt about your learning. In other words, what were your feelings about this
week’s content and workload?
Conative learning relates to volition, will, level of effort, intention, and approaches to problem solving. In other
words, what did you do with regard to enhancing your learning this week?
This week’s reflective summary should also include details about the state or locality where you are working or
would like to work. For example, you can include statistics (such as educational statistics, healthcare statistics,
and poverty statistics) and national ratings (such as the crime rating, the number of people uninsured, and the
number of people below poverty line). In addition, include details about the following:
How the state and local governments interact
How the power-sharing takes place
How power sharing takes place between state and local governments through the ninth and tenth amendments
