(Congress by Dominic Smith CC BY-NC-SA 2.0)

Welcome to Module 11! The list below outlines what you need to do this week.

Read Chapter 11 of American Government (Congress) and Chapter 3 from California Politics.
Check out the supplemental resources available to you on the next Module page.
Then read the Week 11 discussion prompt and respond with your initial post (your answer to my prompt) by 11:59 pm on Friday. Two thoughtful follow-ups are due in the Module 11 discussion forum by 11:59 pm on Sunday. The discussion board closes after the Sunday deadline so no late posts will be accepted.
Complete the Module 11 Quiz by Sunday 11:59 pm

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

State how the legislative, judicial, and executive branches of the Federal system are organized, including the powers that reside in each.

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.
