What I learned in this course has helped me understand more about what is going on in our government and why. Now when it comes to voting or reading about new laws or problems, I can always look back to this class and remember some of the things I learned here and apply them to the political issues I come across. The academic skills I’ve noticed most in this class are my analyzing skills. I can now analyze politics with more ease, and I will continue working on this skill to improve in different areas or subject as well. I will also work more on my comprehension skills, I still have a little trouble understanding certain things here and there but they have improved through this course.
