Class Journals: Students must commit themselves to regular
attendance and to keeping a weekly class journal, which
addresses the course subject matter. Because the topic of
“politics” and the discipline of “political science” generate so
many divergent theoretical and practical interpretations, paying
attention to those theoretical and practical interpretations and
the way in which they affect your learning, attitudes, and
behavior are an important part of this course what you do?
Every Wednesday students are responsible for one typewritten
full pages about their interpretations of the course readings for
that week. What you think; how things affect you; the impact
upon society; and also what you learned about yourself and/or
others. Why you do it? It is important that you think critically,
pay attention to what you are thinking, and that you become an
active participant in your own learning process. The
development of critical thinking and analytical reasoning are
essential to the understanding and use of information. It is what
allows the student to discuss and argue points of opinion versus
points of fact. What you write about? Journals must clearly
address course readings and/or course reading related current
events! Write substantive journal entries (relevant subject
matter) that differentiate between fact and opinion; determine
cause and effect relationships; compare and contrast
information/points of view; and making judgments by drawing
logical conclusions (give reflective feedback on reading
assignments and or reading related current events). What you do
not write about?
The exact topic is your choice! However, the journal is NOT a
general diary of your life; rather the journal is for you to engage
and address course related readings and their impact. There is
never an excuse for having nothing to say—you may always
address reading assignments.
How long should it be?
Entries must be at least one full-page in length, typewritten
with 12pt.font. Be mindful, partial work earns partial credit
(this is your opportunity to demonstrate your grasp of course
related subject matter; not to mention, the impact of such
subject matter on you and or society at-large). When is it due?
Journal entries are due every Thursday (check schedule on
moodle)! Ultimately, journals assist students in their attempt to
better grasp the political process.
From this book: American Government: Roots and Reform,
Alternate Edition, 2012, Karen O’Connor and Larry Sabato.
