......Welcome to the web site for my Spring 2005 section of the Government Department's Sophomore Tutorial (Gov. 97b). I've put together this site to help my students gain access to course materials and to help them get more out of the seminar. From this page, you'll have access to information about the course and my section as well as week-by-week reviews of the course readings built around discussion topics, essay questions, and links. My overall goal for this site is to encourage students to engage the issues of the course outside of the classroom. I welcome your suggestions for things which could be posted here or any other comments you might have.
