American National Government

American National Government (PSCI 2000) is a general education course that acts as an introduction to the institutions and political behavior of American politics and the federal government. I have taught the course in both summer and academic-year semesters. See below for an example of my syllabus, an in-class assignment, and the civic engagement project.
