If you can think of other questions useful to post here, please contact me: carl.cavalli@ung.edu  

Do we have to know this for the exam?
Unless I specifically say otherwise, yes. Anything covered in class may appear on an exam. If I didn't think you should know about it, I would not assign it.

Is the final cumulative?
Yes and no. Yes in that you have to understand earlier parts of the course in order to comprehend the last part; and no in that I will not ask you about any previously tested material.

Is there anything I can do for extra credit?
I may announce additional extra credit projects during the course (be sure to check D2L!), but I will not offer anything on an individual basis.

FALL CLASSES ONLY (if applicable): Be sure to check out the Electoral Golf Contest!

SPRING CLASSES ONLY: The UNG Annual Research Conference is usually scheduled late March and/or early April. This is a three-afternoon academic conference where the best work of our undergraduates is showcased. Every major is represented over several panels. This year, Political Science is represented on a panel scheduled for Tuesday, April 1st at 2pm in the Library Special Collections Room. There may also be additional appropriate panels or activities (Good news, Spring 2014...there is another Political Science panel at 11am the same day in the Open Classroom, room 269! You may attend either one!). I will add 2 points of extra credit to your final average for attending the panel. You must verify your attendance by signing an attendance sheet provided for our class at the panel. I will also drop the lowest of your first two exam grades (you must actually TAKE the exams to get this credit!) if you submit to me a well-written review (minimum 3 full pages, typed, double-spaced, 1-inch margins, 12-point font or smaller) of the entire panel (of course, you must also attend the panel for this credit). The review must connect at least one presentation or activity of the panel to some course topic we covered during the semester. The review must be submitted to me by email by 5pm on the Monday after the Conference (late papers will not be accepted).
