What will be an ideal response?
Students need to discuss scientific, professional, and political policy analysis. Scientific analysis seeks to build theory and can be limited by being too theoretical and not practical. Professional analysis will analyze policy alternatives for solving problems and can be limited by the narrowness of the research or neglect to study all of the factors. Political analysis seeks to advocate/support preferred positions and is sometimes limited by its ideological biases that may raise issues of credibility. Sometimes these studies lack analytical depth.
