Details about this class

Welcome to PS201! I'm excited to share a rich variety of information and concepts that help to establish a solid foundation of knowledge of U.S. government.

Please check in to the course and complete two Introductory tasks (a brief Intro Discussion and a short Intro quiz) as soon as possible. Students must complete these items prior to 11:59pm of the second day of class or they may be removed from the course.

Our textbook is available online for free.
