Resource for teachers
More complexity, if you can stand it.Back to the course web site, Lisa Van Gemert recommended. That's the second prize.
Dr. Paige Johnson Tan's course web page at the University of North Carolina Wilmington is indeed good. The course is Politics and Government in Global Perspective. It appears to be a combination of comparative politics and international relations.
The lectures Dr. Tan has posted are more than mere outlines, they are nearly scripts. There are many good things that you could "borrow" for your own classes.
Please, please, remember to credit your source when you do.
Here are the complex details:
Dr. Tan is teaching about Britain, France, Russia, China, India, and Saudi Arabia. She's also teaching about democratization, ideologies, terrorism, asymmetrical conflict, negotiations, the Middle East conflict, war crimes, genocide in Rwanda, and global warming. (Whew! I get tired and anxious just typing all that.)
There is a lot of good information about all those topics and lectures about most of them on the site.
(For those of you who despair of meeting all the demands of the AP curriculum in a semester, Tan is doing all that in a semester, and her students take their final exam on May 6. The course began on January 10 and meets twice a week for 75 minutes classes.)
Thanks for the recommendation, Lisa.
And thanks to Dr. Tan for the wonderful resource.
If you make use of that resource, e-mail Dr. Tan a note of thanks.
