The lecture notes below came from my Tuesday, Thursday Political Science 102 course, Spring Semester 1999. I scanned the transcripts into my computer without any corrections. I hope they help you with your studying. Please do all you can to ignore my choppy sentences, my poor grammatical structure as well as any missing words. During the Fall Semester 1999, one of my Online Students condensed the notes and did some grammatical corrections--thanks Lynnne. These notes are linked to the flashing button. Since for some reason the notes on Civil liberties were not completed in 1999, I added those from the Fall, 2000, Monday, Wednesday class. In 2008, I taped a few of my lectures for those masocistic enough to want to see me in action.
