Requirements: In this class, I will use a variety of teaching methods. These will include lecture, small and large group discussions, student presentations, guest speakers, and videotapes. In order for such a format to work, I need you to come to each class prepared, having done the assigned reading and perhaps some more too.
In addition to the papers and exams, I will occasionally ask you to attend some political events.
