Online Syllabi Collection
Among a teacher’s most arduous tasks each semester is to prepare syllabi for the upcoming class schedule. As faculty teach a more diverse array of courses, many rely on assistance and suggestions from colleagues to design classes and on the growing number of syllabi that can be found online.
The APSA Syllabi Project assisted in this endeavor by making available a wide array of syllabi for courses in all subfields of political science. If you have questions about the APSA Syllabi Project, please contact teaching@apsanet.org.
As of April 2020, APSA now features example syllabi and teaching materials in our political science education library, APSA Educate.
