Syllabus:
Week 1: Why should you care about government?
Week 2: Historical government stuff (Magna Carta, Machiavelli, Locke, blah, blah)
Week 3: The Declaration of Independence: One hell of a kiss-off note
Week 4: QUIZ
Week 5: The Articles of Confederation (Wow, did that not work) & the Constitution (which did)
Week 5 The Presidency: So much cooler than you
Week 6 More of the Presidency, which is still much cooler than you
Week 7 The Cabinet: Rewarding your friends can backfire
Week 8 MIDTERM
Week 9 The Congress: Less cool than the President. Also, annoying. And badly dressed.
Week 10: The Judiciary: Old and cranky, man.
Week 11: QUIZ
Week 12: The Electoral College: What kind of crack were the Founders on?
Week 13: The media: helpful for democracy or just really shrill and annoying?
Week 14: State government: Nobody cares
Week 15: FINAL EXAM
Detention Rules: Three consecutive unexcused absenses=detention. Starting a fight that's not a political one=detention. Being the victim of my occasional sense of whimsy=fun for me.
I've been told voting Republican can't lead directly to detention but I'm watching you all just in case.
[OOC: In other words, if you want a detention, Josh has no problem being the enforcer.]
