AP Environmental Science Course Syllabus
Rating

This AP Environmental Science class is intended to meet the same objectives as a first-year college-based course.
However, the method of instruction for this course is unique compared to similar courses because we have adopted
a project-based learning (PBL) approach. Although PBL may take many forms, our approach involves student
investigations and simulations that require students to think like scientists, policymakers, farmers, and other adults
in real-world settings. Teachers engage students in collaborative problem solving, argumentation, and deep
exploration of the concepts and principles of the discipline. The goal for student learning is understanding rather
than relying on rote memory to create meaningful learning and knowledge that is actionable, adaptive, and
transferable.

Achieving Public Dialogue
Rating

There are a wide range of interactions between 'science' and 'the public'. Examples range from visiting a museum, or indulging in a science-related hobby, to reading a newspaper article about a breakthrough in the techniques of therapeutic cloning. Many of these interactions could be said to be 'passive'. This unit explores the practicalities of the public becoming more 'active' in the direction of science practice by 'two-way' interactions, with dialogue taking place between science and some part of 'the public',

American National Government Undergraduate Syllabus

PS 201 American National Government

Course Description

This course provides an overview of the design and process of American national government. Introductory topics focus on American political culture and the ideas that are central not only to the design of the U.S. Constitution, but also to the values that structure current political debates. Additionally, we explore how the U.S. Constitution changed over time to open the democratic process to previously excluded groups (African Americans, Latinos, Women, etc.). We also focus on how the core institutions of American government function in the American federal system. Special attention is paid to the political behavior of the major institutional actors (Members of Congress, Presidents, Supreme Court Justices). Other course topics explore elements of the democratic process including the role of political parties, interest groups, campaigns, voting, elections, and public opinion. Although the course primarily focuses on the basic structure and function of American government, we cover current political debates to improve students’ general knowledge about contemporary American politics.

By the end of this course students should…
1. Be familiar with the core structures and institutions of American national government.
2. Understand the fundamental process of who gets what, when, and how in American politics.
3. Identify and critically evaluate central conflicts in American politics.
4. Develop an understanding for the role that citizens play in American democracy.
