PS101 which deals with the effect governmental and political decisions and activities have on collective interests and the citizens daily lives, is unquestionably one of the few indispensable courses for students from any field.
Teaching methods consist mainly of lecture and lecture-discussion.
Class size is maintained at 35 students. However, reading is not a substitute for attendance and participation in class lectures and discussions. The Political Science Program offers 18 other courses beyond PS101. The calendar of assignments, attendance and grading policies are included in the course syllabus.
