The only prerequisite for this class is solid command of high school algebra. If you are not sure whether your math background is sufficient, please talk to me. No background in political science is necessary.
This class will be based on collaborative work and participation. Your effort and willigness to engage with the material in class will be crucial in ensuring that you get the most out of it. You should not be discouraged if some topics remain elusive when you first encounter them in class; talk to me and we will try to figure out a way to remedy this.
I will not take attendance, but will expect you to come to class. If you have to miss class due to an emergency or illness, please let me know as soon as possible.
When you arrive to class, please be on time.
