Course overview

Why are we here?
(in this class. not existentially. #thatsadifferentclass)

Put simply, we want you to leave this class understanding:

  1. Why government is relevant to you & your life

  2. How (and why) to engage with your elected representatives

  3. How to have civil conversations about politics (even those with totally different perspectives)

Tools we'll be using in this class

This is our official course site. Look here for news or to send emails via eLearn.

You'll submit your semester project through an ePortfolio.

You'll find videos in our eLearn site on how to set up and publish your ePortfolio.

Need more help? We've got that covered, too.

You may optionally choose to submit your learning activity reflections in Discord. It's also a great (easy) tool for communication. The #just_for_fun channel is a popular one, and you'll have access to that, too!
