American Public Policy: Promise & Performance, 8th Edition, by B. Guy Peters

Welcome to the American Public Policy Web Site!

Navigating This Site

To get started, select one of the 17 buttons (each of which corresponds to a chapter from the text) on the left side of the screen. Then select the desired activity for that chapter: Study, Quiz, or Explore.

The Study section for each chapter contains a chapter summary and study questions. You can click on the "Answer" box following each question, write out your response in the pop-up box, and email it to your instructor. At the top of the page, you have the option of answering multiple questions in one box and sending all of your responses in one email message.

The Quiz section allows you to test your mastery of the material via multiple-choice and true-false questions provided for each chapter. You can opt to take each quiz with immediate or summarized results. For the "immediate" path, you see correct and incorrect answers question by question; for the "summarized" path, you will answer all quiz questions and then see correct and incorrect answers at the end, replicating a more realistic testing environment. After completing the quiz, you will see your "detailed results" which include your percentage grade for the quiz and outline your results by question type (e.g., conceptual, factual, and vocabulary) and by chapter section. You can also click on "see all answers" to see each of your responses. And please click on "email" to send your quiz results to your instructor.

The Explore section offers annotated links that facilitate further research, with students just a click away from additional information.

To return to the opening screen, select the Home button.
