Political Violence – Islamic State in Iraq
Students are expected to watch at least 30 minutes of political news a week. Nearly any news source is acceptable, with the exception of celebrity gossip magazines (People, In Touch, The National Inquirer, etc.). Be sure to take notes during the program you watch, including the program’s name, outlet (cable, television, online, etc.), and date viewed. You will write two 1-2 paged papers, connecting current political news to the material from the textbook and lecture outlines. Detailed instructions will be posted on Titanium within the first two weeks of the semester. These two papers, along with your notes, are to be stapled together and turned in as one assignment.
