Why do some countries hold elections while others do not? Why are some states able to provide security and welfare to their citizens while others struggle to do so? Why are some countries plagued by violence while others enjoy internal peace? These questions have long animated the field of comparative politics and are among the several of which we will explore this semester.
This course will provide students with a firm foundation in the sub-field of comparative politics, preparing them for further analysis of politics around the world and across contexts. The course has two main objectives:
1. To familiarize students with the importance of theory and research design for describing, explaining, and understanding political processes. After taking this course, students should be able to distinguish between different theoretical explanations and evaluate the merit of evidence used to support them.
2. To provide students with an overview of key topics and debates in comparative politics. Students should be able to understand the basis of these debates as well as take and support positions on them.

Juniors and Senior explore the use of assessments to guide instruction for children 2-5th grade who are experiencing difficulties with reading and ELA skills. Teacher candidates will create a remedial plan for their assigned child and tutor using literature-based activities that meet child's individual needs. Post assessments are completed to analyze if prescription / tutoring sessions/ remedial plan were effective.

This course is important – whether you are a Political Science major or not. You will be introduced to the fundamentals of the American government, such as its political institutions and main actors. Most importantly, this class aims to demonstrate how you are connected to the federal and state government in your daily life and present you with tools to become informed and act in politically meaningful ways. For this purpose, we will also examine what being American means in today’s society and how our political institutions and behavior compare to other countries. Ultimately, you will leave this class with a comprehensive understanding of how to critically evaluate and actively participate in the American political system.

The United States Congress is charged with representing the people, but it has notoriously low approval ratings. Why is the most important branch of government, arguably, the least trusted and least functional? In this class, we will examine the institutional design and evolution of Congress (often using the 50 state legislatures as a basis of comparison), we will consider how the institution operates, and we will discuss whether or not it provides effective representation.
