Introduction to the American Political Process: Course Description

Professor Adam Berinsky taught 'Introduction to the American Political Process' in a lecture-style format. Political Science students obtaining their bachelor's degree could take this course as an elective. By introducing both traditional and original ways to study the American governmental process, students received a more thorough look at American politics. Writing assignments developed an understanding of the staples of politics, how public opinion and elections affect the democratic process and how equality can be lost or maintained through the political process. Another major topic was how personal involvement can impact political processes.

Lecture slides, a detailed reading list, assignment guidelines and a hyperlink to a website containing the United States Constitution are all included in this OpenCourseWare. To learn more about this course, visit the political process of America course page.
