Goals & objectives: The Higher Learning Commission, which is the accrediting body for ASU, requires all syllabi to identify learning objectives; so, after completing POSC 3203, where the goal is to provide an undergraduate survey of comparative politics, students will demonstrate the ability to (1) analyze political processes and outcomes in theoretical terms and (2) carry out a project, appropriate for an undergraduate education, from problem identification through sustained research to the effective presentation of results.
