PAD305ELEMENT OF GOVERNMENT (SELF-ASSESSMENT EXCERCISES)
The Self-Assessment Exercises in PAD 305: Elements of Government are structured to help students reflect on their understanding of political systems, governance structures, and civic responsibilities. These exercises often include quizzes, reflection prompts, and case-based questions that assess knowledge of topics such as separation of powers, the rule of law, constitutional frameworks, public institutions, and the roles of various arms of government. Through these tools, students gain insight into how well they comprehend foundational government principles and how their values align with democratic governance and public service ideals.
Beyond testing academic knowledge, the self-assessments encourage students to examine their critical thinking, ethical reasoning, and engagement with civic issues. They serve as a platform for identifying personal beliefs about leadership, accountability, and the role of citizens in governance. This process not only deepens political awareness but also helps students prepare for careers in public administration, policy analysis, or political science by highlighting areas for growth and encouraging proactive learning and civic responsibility.
