The 2000 campaign will provide a fresh vantage point for rethinking our understanding of presidential elections. This course requires students to become familiar with the 2000 campaign as it unfolds. Listed below are states by dates. Prepare for class discussions of the results, media coverage, campaign strategies, and so forth as well as enhance your own understanding of presidential election politics. The first two exams each account for 20 percent of the course grade, the third exam is 30 percent, and the paper and class participation constitute the remaining 30 percent.
Exams are to be taken when scheduled and paper assignments completed when due.
Regular reading of campaign coverage in The New York Times is strongly recommended. You can take out an inexpensive subscription through the bookstore. This will be helpful throughout the course, particularly with class discussions and your papers. Alaska Rep. Prec. Feb. 1 New Hampshire Prim.
