Teaching

My general teaching focus is American politics and research methods.  I routinely teach several classes in the Department of Political Science (the links take you to the most recent syllabus):
Thinking Like a Political Scientist: Quantitative Approaches (POLS 2620)

State and Local Government (POLS 3100)

Campaigns and Elections (POLS 3180)

Politics and Society (POLS 3340)

Congress (POLS 3600)

American Political Institutions (POLS 5600)

I also advise undergraduate research, honors projects and theses.  If you have questions about the courses or research opportunities, please contact me at daveamp@iastate.edu.
