Areas of Teaching and
Research
|
|
|
|
|
Over the years, my teaching has
concentrated on these subjects: American
government, comparative political parties,
elementary statistics, and computer methods for
teaching and research. My areas of scholarly
research largely coincide with these topics,
concentrating more specifically on (a) political
parties, (b) computer
methods, and (c) American
government, including methods of teaching.
Although some of my writings overlap in these
areas, one can evaluate my work better my
considering the items under these groupings. In
recent years, I have been particularly
interested in politics and political science in
central Europe and the Soviet Union, where our
English-language American government textbook is
widely used and has been translated into various
languages, including Hungarian, Georgian, Czech,
Slovak, and Korean. Other writings and academic
activities can be found under miscellaneous.
