About the course
The course provides an overview of the basic features of the U.S. political system. Special attention is paid to the U.S. Constitution, the role of the courts, demographic changes, the impact of the media on politics, and voter participation in political life.
Outline for distance course: The distance course is based on self-study and communication through the web-based learning environment. This contains all information regarding the course and is used for the compulsory course activities. Teaching takes the form of study instructions, exercises and discussions. Access to a computer with an internet connection is required to take the course. All teaching and examinations are done online. There may be obligatory online meetings. Taking a distance course means that you yourself largely determine when you study since you are not as tied to scheduled classes. Note, however, that this kind of course requires as much effort as an ordinary campus course and that it is equally important to meet set deadlines.
