I took this class in Spring of 2005.
I really enjoyed Vogel's teaching, and also his perspective on the issues (if you've picked up a really liberal, "berkeley-green" perspective, he will challenge you on some of this -- to your benefit).
It was good for me to familiarize myself with some of the history of environmental policy, and the important schools of thought coming from various academic and political disciplines. Although not always exciting, most of the readings were things I "ought to know about," as an environmentalist.
All that said, the class was a bit "undergrady" with a lot of time spent simply rehashing the readings (there were often a lot of students who hadn't done them)... the class would have been better as a smaller, seminar class.
The workload was tolerable, if reading-intensive. Three small papers spread through the semester, rather than one big one.

Energy Bill 2007- Paper on Public Policy Process and why Energy Bill ended up being what it is.


The one I went was in Jan 2008 but here is a brief description

student groups traveled to Washington, DC, for a week-long course titled Business and the Public Policy Process for MBA Students. The course was offered through The Washington Campus, a consortium of 16 major business schools, including the Haas School. Professor David Vogel accompanied one of the groups to specially tailor the program, which promotes understanding of and involvement in governmental processes, for Berkeley MBA students.
