Course Schedule
Prior to the readings and viewings for each week, I will upload either a reading or a viewing guide with some
questions so you know what to look for, think about and perhaps respond to in the weekly online forum.
Political Science course is the political study of politics; it is the scientific study of
political behavior and institutions. There are essential content in the syllabus including the
importance of political science course. To enlighten students about the said course, the syllabus
provided introduction and fundamental understanding of politics. Yes, indeed because this
course that we are taking has different units such as Comparative Politics, International World
Organization, Public Administration, Political Theory and fundamentals of Political Science. By
means of learning it with the given duration of time, we study concept, systems, ideologies and
terminologies regarding political science course. This syllabus is not made just to show and
serves as a guide for the students and teachers, it has major objective at first which is to develop
student’s thinking skills. I strongly agree because as a student we are being challenged with
different problems in readings and difficult questions in lectures that make us used our problem-
solving skills, abilities, and capacities. But in the end, it will help to hone and develop our
cognitive thinking skills.
Certainly, assignments, analytical essays, final paper and it’s due date are expected these
are important and some of the challenges to finish the political science course. By implementing
it, teachers are able to know if their students truly learned something or if they really studying or
not, how competent they are, and if there is educational, critical thinking skills and personal
skills improvement. By presenting one’s own work without plagiarism using the only required
book for reading, students may be able to complete the required essays with accurate words in
the given deadline according to the syllabus.
In addition, I recognized that this syllabus is not just explaining what the course is all
about. How important and beneficial the course is, how they execute the course, and what will be
the given requirements to finish the course are also discussed. It has consideration too; the author
made him or her available regularly and encourages them to direct message if anyone has
questions regarding the topic or course. Also, surprisingly, there are services for the students
with disabilities that I did not expect; they provide full assistance that shows how considerate the
sample syllabus is.
Moreover, the syllabuses are detailed and organize contents with consideration; clear
requirements system and proper course schedule are the positive sides of the syllabus. Then, it is
more focused on the requirements; it’s schedule and due date. Because I believe that the author’s
intention here and wants to emphasize is for the students to learn or study smarter not harder, to
fulfill requirement in order to graduate or have a degree. Because emphasizing due date means to
have a good management, prioritize work, and be stressful at the end of targeting an achievable
goal.
In general, I absolutely agree and amazed by the author for making such an organized,
clear and detailed steps .he or she is way too perceptive to complete everyone’s need to know
and learn. Unlike any other syllabus which are disorganized and incomplete in details that
sometimes confused students and faculties how and what course is all about. As general, the
syllabus followed the general rule in writing syllabus that makes it so understandable.
