Welcome to class! Parents and students, please note that this is a class that requires dedication and completion of homework, especially if you plan to take the AP Exam. My students do very well on the exam because I treat it as a college course with a combination of College Board assignments and class projects. The most successful students stay on top of their readings and class work. As a class we will prepare for the exam in May by creating portfolios, and researching six different countries in order to compare and contrast their political system with that of the United States. Student will have access to College Board's AP Central curriculum. I am audited so students are able to get transcripts, weighted grades and take the exam. Course Description Comparative Government is a college level political science course that provides students with: A concrete understanding of the scientific method behind political comparison, a well-developed sense of political theory, and a “real world” understanding of global studies through specific analysis of 6 different political entities. Throughout the course students will be learning the process that political scientists use to analyze and evaluate political systems, and then applying that process to the case studies. Upon completion of the Comparative Government class, students will be equipped to understand and evaluate current Geo-political issues in an informed manner, and will have developed the tools and methodology to understand and evaluate Geo-political issues that will arise in the future.
