There are several occasions during the semester where students will participate in debates on controversial topics in American politics. In addition, I encourage student questions, comments, and arguments about politics. Except for a documented emergency , I expect students to take the exams on the days that they are scheduled. If you have an emergency and need to reschedule an exam, please see me early in the semester. If you wish to re-schedule the final examination you will need to receive written permission from the Dean's office.
Papers are due at the start of class on the date that they are due.
The following course books are at the Pepperdine Book Store. JBG, chapter 3 2. The paradigmatic American experiment 1. JBG, chapter 5. JBG, chapter 7.
