GLOB1-GC 3035 Analytical Skills for Global Affairs The study of global affairs requires more than just interest, passion or even intelligence. It also demands that students master and develop a range of crucial skills that will allow them to gather information, quickly and effectively assess data and opinion, understand how these sources may be biased or open to misinterpretation, and then marshal and present convincing arguments on paper in a range of forms. This course is divided into 2 separate units, Writing for Global Affairs and Quantitative Methods. The former covers the basics of research and formulating a research question, plagiarism and derivation, the different forms of writing (a memo, a research paper, etc) and the actual art of constructing and writing a piece. The latter accustoms students to handling data and familiarizes them with some of the basic statistical techniques used in policy analysis, in order that they may become intelligent consumers and producers of analyses. This fall, i'll be starting the Global affairs program at NYU SCPS. There are several classes that are recommended for new students and this is one of them. Does this sound like an important course? Or is this just BS?

I have a resume I use regulary to apply for jobs. Can I still use the same resume as part of my grad school app? the resume contains education section, internships, job experience (mostly admin stuff), and addition skills such as languages spoken and computer. Thanks!

Thanks for your quick response! also, did you put a title or "statement of purpose" on yours? or did you leave it blank?

I was wondering what the standard format is for SOP's. font size, headers, page numbers, etc. Thanks!
