Political Science Discussion Board

Research the federal bureaucracy, building on the lessons presented for this week, and then consider the types of organizations in the federal bureaucracy.

Discuss the functions of the following types of federal government bureaucracy, with examples: 1) Government corporations; 2) Independent agencies; 3) Regulatory commissions.

Post by 11:55 pm (ET) on Friday; include citations or URLs for your work, and provide substantive replies to the posts to your classmates by 11:55 pm (ET) on Sunday. Please see the rubric linked below for grading standards.

Assignment responses should be no less than 300 words and no more than about 500 words, while student replies should be no less than 150 words and no more than about 300 words.

Remember that a 300-word post and 150-word replies are the bare minimum requirements to earn a grade of a "C" or higher, but they will not automatically result in an "A" for a grade. Again, please review the rubric for details.
