Instruction
Students are expected to examine one political issue in contemporary American politics that make headlines during the course of this class. Each student will submit a write-up of the
current event that they have chosen, which will include: the event, what happened, when did it happen, why was this event important, was the United States the only party
involved - if not, who were the other parties – how does the event relate to class, and why you found it interesting. The write-up should be 1-1.5 pages in length.
