Your advice is great if teachers implement on these things.

Mainly under the tutelage of Paul Gronke, John Brehm, and John Aldrich. My classes were nothing like civics on steroids, but genuine social science. That's why I decided I wanted to be a PS professor instead of a History professor. I'm sure I'm guilty of two much of the civics on steroids approach, but I certainly enjoy teaching the most when I feel I am actually helping my students to be junior social scientists. <br />On an unrelated note, any blog post that gets comments from both me and "Big" Steve Saideman is a quality post indeed.Steve Greenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04670226240905673727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3412583847145043520.post-58555402754724946062011-09-15T14:30:57.331-06:002011-09-15T14:30:57.331-06:00Andrew, I'm not crazy about the "Governme...Andrew, I'm not crazy about the "Government" label, especially since I teach a lot of stuff about campaigns and parties and interest groups that really have very little to do with government. "Politics" is, to me, a vocation rather than a major. We're not necessarily training people to be politicians; we're training them to observe and understand politics, although there's obviously room for debate there. I kind of like the designation "political science," although I recognize that not everything we do is actually science and that not all aspects of politics can be studied scientifically.Seth Maskethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17178036016555722068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3412583847145043520.post-59229073176812298532011-09-15T13:28:35.384-06:002011-09-15T13:28:35.384-06:00My BA is from a "politics" not poli sci ...My BA is from a "politics" not poli sci department, where I learned....that if I wanted to learn anything, I should focus on the classes cross-listed with the Economics department.

It doesn't really apply to theory, either. But there's a lot of what we teach that can be more informed by political science and less by civics.Seth Maskethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17178036016555722068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3412583847145043520.post-46501716380600619922011-09-14T17:46:25.461-06:002011-09-14T17:46:25.461-06:00Only problem is that this is not Political Science...Only problem is that this is not Political Science but mostly a subfield of it--American mostly, a bit of Comparative, no IR.<br /><br />Just call it what it is, says one mildly miffed Political Scientist who studies and teaches IR.Steve Saidemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09881915512311951902noreply@blogger.com
