Spring 2010

GOV 385N • Introduction to Formal Political Analysis

Course Description

We will work through the Osborne book focusing on the political science applications. The schedule is somewhat tentative. In other words, we may find ourselves moving more quickly or slowly than the schedule below. If so, adjustments will be made, but the exam dates will remain the same.

Grading Policy

There will be three in-class exams, consisting of problems very similar to those discussed in class. There is no final exam. The exams will be weighted equally to determine your final grade.

Texts
