I teach the political science department\u2019s introductory American politics course about every other year or so. I teach the Money and Politics course in the spring of even-numbered years, the Campaigns and Elections course in the fall of even-numbered years, and the Parties and Interest Groups class in the spring preceding a presidential election. I teach the capstone course (PSCI 292) most years in the spring. I teach the other courses occasionally. I’m in the process of designing a class on Congress and the Presidency sometime soon. Links to sample syllabi for my courses are below. <\/p>\n

\nSubject matter varies from one year to the next; last time around we read Plato\u2019s dialogues. I also haven’t taught this one for a while.<\/p>\n
\nThis class picks up where Roots of Political Theory leaves off. Also not a class that’s been taught for a while.<\/p>\n
\nCo-taught with James Gomes, former director of the Mosakowski Institute. This class was designed to coincide with the 2012 redistricting, so it probably won’t be offered again for a while.<\/p>\n
