Welcome to Module 3! The list below outlines what you need to do for this Module.

Read Chapter 3 of American Government (American Federalism).
Check out the supplemental resources available to you on the next Module page.
Then read the Week 3 discussion prompt and respond with your initial post (your answer to my prompt) by 11:59pm on Friday. Two thoughtful follow-ups are due in the Module 3 discussion forum by 11:59pm on Sunday.
Finally, Review the Study Guide and Complete the Unit Exam.

By completing this week's reading and assignments, you will achieve the following Course Objectives:

Trace, analyze and critically evaluate American political thought from its origins to the present.

Any general questions should be posted to the Q&A Forum. If you message me a general question, I will tell you to post to the Q&A Forum. By asking a question and receiving an answer (either from me or your classmates) in this forum, you will help other students who have the same question-just like in a face-to-face class!

If you have a personal concern or private matter to discuss now or at any time throughout the semester, you must message me via the Canvas Inbox. The surest way to get a quick response from me regarding a private matter is the Canvas Inbox. I do not check my COD email as frequently as I do Canvas and thus your email will likely get lost among several others. Canvas is also the best way to send secure messages that contain personal/private information.
