Clashing Views on Controversial Issues in World Politics, 8th ed. The main course outline follows the Chapters in Ray. Readings from Rourke will supplement the material in Ray. Course Requirements Grades reflect 2 qizzes plus 2 mid-terms and a final exam, and also class participation. Exam days are listed in the outline below.
Participation is also important.
If you aren't there, you can't participate. All students should come to class prepared to discuss, ask questions, and respond to classmates' comments. The readings are to be completed before you come to class each day. Note that not everything in the textbooks will be covered in class lectures but you are responsible for the material in the textbook unless you are told otherwise. Thus, you must do the readings and come to class if you want to do well in this course.
