Please be sure that you are familiar with the key terms and can answer the review questions at the end of the chapter. Your third blog post is due before class on Monday. Can you find something interesting in the news about French politics?

Welcome to Into to Comparative Government

Your first dangerous assignment is to create a blog for this class and send me the link. I would prefer that you use blogger.com and that you select a non-dynamic template so that your blog will be easy for everyone to follow. I will link all student class blogs on the sidebar here.  I also recommend that you subscribe to this blog so that you will be alerted to updates and never miss an assignment (see the button on the sidebar). No sweat. If you are sweating, please see me right away. You will be required to blog your reading responses, and technical ineptitude will not be a valid excuse for failing to do the assignment.

Looking forward to exploring the world with you this semester!
