Pick one:
- See the Beinart and Judis articles on the syllabus. Which one is right?
- Read the analysis of "outsiderism" in Ceaser and Busch. Compare and contrast Sanders and Trump to the "outsiders" of 1992. How has "outsiderism" changed in the past 24 years? How has it remained the same?
- Pick any chapter in the Reichley book. Write an update, taking account of developments during the 21st century, as well the perspective that an additional 16 years provides. In light of what we now know, do any of his observations require revision?
Essays should reflect an understanding of class readings and discussions. Many resources, including
CQ Weekly and
Politics in America are at Honnold Library/Databases/CQ Library. You should check other sources as well. See:
The specifications:
- Essays should be typed (12-point), double-spaced, and no more than four pages long. I will not read past the fourth page.
- Cite your sources. Please use endnotes in the format of Chicago Manual of Style. Endnotes do not count against the page limit. Please do not use footnotes, which take up too much page space.
- Watch your spelling, grammar, diction, and punctuation. Errors will count against you. Return essays to the Sakai dropbox for this class by 5 PM, Friday, February 19. Papers will drop one gradepoint for one day’s lateness, a full letter grade after that.
