1 AP United States Government & Politics Syllabus Teacher: Mr. McKibbon/Room C207/ Course Overview/Description: AP United States Government and Politics is a course about the American political system. We will discuss political ideology, the development of the U.S. political system, and U.S. democratic institutions. Students will be able to evaluate the role of the national government and its relationship to the concept of liberty in a pluralistic society. The discussions will emphasize the changing political culture of American society and its effect on voting patterns, trends, and the processes of government. The main thrust of this course is to provide you with the tools to apply your knowledge of our political system to contemporary events in order to be informed and productive citizen in society. Course Goals: A student who successfully completes AP Government & Politics will: Identify important facts, concepts, and theories relating to U.S. government and politics. Understand patterns of political processes and behavior and their consequences. This includes the components of political behavior, the principles used to explain or justify various government structures and procedures, and the political effects of these structures and procedures. Analyze and interpret data relevant to U.S. government and politics, including charts, tables, graphs, and various other formats. Critically analyze relevant theories and concepts, apply them, and develop their connections across the curriculum. Course Methodology: This is an inquiry-based course where you will discover and utilize knowledge about the American political system via the textbook, supplemental readings, primary sources, political websites, and discussions with other students and the teacher. Your teacher will act as the facilitator and will guide you through the learning process. However, you are responsible for actively learning the information by completing all assigned readings and activities. Both formal and informal assessment will be used in evaluating your performance in this course. Informal assessment will include evaluations of the quality of your in-class activities.
