Poli Sci Teaching Assistant Program

About This Page

This program helps students review essential terms in a number of different political science classes. We are all overloaded with information and quickly forget just about everything we hear, see, or read. Reviewing terms repeatedly reinforces course material and creates long-term memories. You can adjust the duration, speed, and topics covered.
