In all nations, social policy is a very large public investment. Course 1 will explore the size, structure, and outcomes of U.S. social policy and compare this policy to those of similar developed countries. The course will also probe the values this policy represents and the values debate regarding about how big our welfare state should be— in other words, how much of our education, housing, health, income support, and social services the government should supply and how much individuals should supply for themselves. This course addresses issues of power, oppression, and white supremacy.

The quality of the content is good for an introductory course. The high amount of typos in the slides is distracting when you're trying to take notes.

Excellent information and well presented. Love the honors section that provides an opportunity for further learning and feedback from peers.
