[quote=Anonymous]It is a pretty hard class, really.  I have one in it now, and another that took it a few years ago.  The older one is a very advanced student, and I think this was one of the more challenging classes.  I have a political science degree and a law degree and I find it difficult.  There's a lot of terminology that is not necessarily intuitive plus they have to learn Supreme Court cases, etc.  I don't think of it as being super intensive on reading (there is definitely more than MS), but there is a lot of writing, including writing up notes on a weekly basis that a lot of the kids moan and groan about.

Also, PP said if your kid likes history go for it -- there's some history involved (stuff about Supreme Court cases and some of the issues involved in setting up the government), but it's really not history based.  There's a lot of stuff like what are the different kinds of governmental structures, what are the different kinds of representational democracies.  I like history, but I find this stuff pretty boring.  [/quote]
