Classroom Resources

Course-Related Materials

For my students' and my own ease of reference, I organize the materials largely by course. Each course page contains a brief synopsis of the topics covered and a link to the syllabus. Where relevant, I cross-link to materials on other pages of this site (i.e., I happen to have the median voter materials under my Intro to Comparative Politics course, and spatial modeling under Intro to International Relations, but either may be of interest in Game Theory courses). If you are unsure where to find something, try the search box at the top of each page.
