Coolest Class at AU

So I'm in the best class at AU. No really. It's called Presidential Campaign 2008. Basically, the class is all about studying the McCain/Obama battle for the White House. There's no set curriculum. No set topics for each class. And no big textbook to read.

However, the class isn't a breeze either. Our professor sends us a whole list of news articles to read each week (usually the day or two before class), and we have briefing papers due every Tuesday on issues, strategies, media, constituent groups and more. Plus, although the class is only 3 credits, it meets for 5 hours a week - one block class on Wednesday and one block class on Thursday.

But that's not even the best part. The class is on TV! That's right, our professor started a partnership with FOX5 here in DC. So every Thursday, our class discussion is streamed live online! Plus, they send a camera crew and give us a section on their 5pm news.

Here's the website if you're interested. And feel free to tune in tomorrow!
