Political Science · Columbia University
Very instructive course! It is a seminar in American politics but it felt very interdisciplinary (lots of psychology and anthropology mixed in). Having taken scope and methods prior to this course was also very helpful in understanding and getting through the research-focused readings.
In this course, I learned a great deal about the foundations of American democracy and the evolution of federalism within the United States. In addition, I learned key political strategies and tactics that are used and analyzed to champion elections.
You will learn a lot, and it's such an interesting topic!
