Teaching Resources

Below you will find links to syllabuses for classes in "political communication," "mass media and politics," "public opinion," and "campaigns and elections." Thanks again to all of those who sent links to their classes. We found the rest of the links doing basic keyword google searches. You will find that most of the syllabuses are in pdf format--though a few are simple html pages. There is no rhyme or reason to this list. In fact, we hope to expand it in the future. So please send links to your classes to David Ryfe and he will gladly add them. We are especially interested in syllabuses on topics in areas of political communication not covered below, and in classes taught in Europe, Latin America, and elsewhere.

Also contact Ryfe when you find that any of the links below are broken.

Enjoy!
