This course was very interesting, especially because I took it during the time of the 2016 Presidential election. I learned so much about government and politics in our country. This course helped my ability to look carefully at polls and articles circulating around to make sure they are reliable sources. This course also encouraged us to look at events unbiased. Before the outcome of the election was known, we were told that, no matter who wins, we were going to have to do research and write a paper on why the winner was elected.
