PSC 100 - Understanding Politics (3 Cr.)

(LER-SSC)
Politics exist all around us and affects our daily lives in numerous ways.  Each section of this course will introduce students to the ubiquity of politics through a unique perspective.  Students will be presented with a political problem at the outset of the course, and throughout the semester learn ways in which political actors and institutions have dealt with or responded to the problem, instilling a set of skills which include knowledge and a sense of agency.  Students will also develop analytical and theoretical skills through guided writing assignment, reading and discussion.  This course fulfills the liberal education requirement for the social sciences and is intended for majors and non-majors alike. Fall semester, repeated Spring semester. Department.
