Addendums to syllabus

Our next few weeks will be in scrambled order, as we discussed in class today.

Nov 2: Laura and Victoria are the leaders for Political Campaign Advertising. The required readings have not changed, but IF YOU WISH, you may substitute this reading and this response to it and this response to the response for the Freedman & Goldstein (1999) assigned reading. These articles update the somewhat dated reading list, and the links should work if you are on campus or if you are off campus but signed into the LSU library website. That first link goes to a word document, but the article was published in the same issue of Journal of Politics as the other two links. If you're interesting in this topic, read 'em all to see how the debate has evolved!

Nov 9: We will attend, as a class, the Joe Turow talk. This is required, like any other class session. During class time before and after the talk, we will have oral progress updates on the results for final papers. I understand that I have moved these reports up a week and that some of you will not have results yet. That's fine. Come prepared to discuss the problems you've encountered and to practice talking about and defending your research.

Nov 16: Portia and Ben J. will lead us for the "Voter Behavior" readings- note that you've gained an extra week, compared to the syllabus, to read the book "American Voter Revisited!" Also, don't forget the two articles in addition to the book.

Nov 23 (no change from syllabus): Roslyn and Timothey lead us for "Tolerance; trust"

Nov 30 (no change from syllabus): Michelle and Cara lead us for "Latent Opinion, Deliberative Democracy, and Summing Up"

  1. The "response to the response" link was broken but I fixed it. Thanks for the heads-up, Emily.
