This is a relatively new course and as such will undoubtedly be a learning experience for all of us. Please stay flexible and keep up with the work. Things will likely change quickly in this course.

For those who are not yet aware, this is a year long course in which we will look at the concepts of government and economics through the lens of current issues. We will see how our government is organized and how it runs. We will look at economics and various economic systems and philosophies on both a personal, small scale level, as well as on a national and international level.

I will use this page to help communicate with everyone concerning upcoming events, assignments etc. Please refer to in on a regular basis. In fact - bookmark it. Put it in your computer, iphone, ipad, droid, PU-36 Space Modulator or whatever else you use to keep track of friends, relatives, enemies and events around you.

Note, in order to take advantage of the offerings on this website - homework handouts, notes etc- you will need to have a Google account. Most of my notes are in Google Documents and the preferred method of contacting me for students is through Gmail. You can sign up for Google here: We will also be using Turnitin.com, though many of you likely have accounts there already.
