GOV 312L, ISSUES & POLICIES IN AMERICAN GOVT: TEXAS POLITICAL HISTORY (38625)
Required Reading
Randolph B. Campbell, Gone to Texas: A History of the Lone Star State, Oxford University Press, 2nd edition, 2012 (paperback)
Description
This course will examine the major events and personalities in Texas political history from 16th century Spanish Texas up to the present. We will adopt a narrative approach, stressing the issues and concerns that motivated the major actors who helped shape the history of this state and also seeing events in Texas in the larger context of European, Mexican, and American history.
Exams and Grades
There will be three in-class, multiple-choice exams on the dates noted below. There is no final exam. The first two exams have 35 questions and the last one has 30 questions for a total of 100 questions on all three exams. The raw scores on the three exams are added with each question worth one point and the total raw scores are then used to determine your final grade. 100-87 = A, 86-85 = A-, 84-83 = B+, 82-77 = B, 76-75 = B-, 74-73 = C+, 72-66 = C, 65-64 = C-, 63-54 = D, 53-0 = F. There is no extra credit. A make-up exam (IDs and short answer questions) will be given only if an exam is missed for a valid reason. Each exam covers only material since the exam just before it.
Use of Canvas
Canvas will be used for announcements, the syllabus, PowerPoint slides, grades, main points of the lectures, organizing principles of the lectures, maps, sample questions, and study sheets for the exams. You will be notified during lecture or by e-mail if additional information is added as the semester progresses.
Lectures
The lectures are the major source of information for the tests, so it is important to come to every class. The study guide for each test will tell you what material to take notes on. It is a good idea to read the assigned material before coming to class, so you will better understand the lectures. Everything covered in lecture and assigned from your book can be the subject of exam questions unless explicitly excluded by me. If you have any questions, you are always welcome to see me during my office hours or anytime I’m in my office.

Description
The course will review the political history of the American South from the 1780s to the present. In the first part of the course, we review the events which transformed the South from a region of progressive nationalism from the 1780s to the 1810s to a region of defensive sectionalism from the 1820s to the 1860s. Touching briefly on the Civil War, we then take up Reconstruction, “Redemption,” and the agrarian movement of the late 19th century, followed by the period of the “Solid South” in the first half of the 20th century. Next we examine the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 60s, followed by the rise of southern Republicans in the late 20th century. Lastly, we examine Texas’s congressional redistricting in 2003.
Exams and Grades
There will be three in-class, multiple-choice exams on the dates noted below. The exams are not cumulative. There is no final exam. The first two exams have 35 questions and the last one has 30 questions for a total of 100 points on all three exams. The raw scores on the three exams are added and the total raw scores are then curved to determine your final grade, approximating the following distribution: 30% A’s, 35% B’s, 20% C’s, 10% D’s, and 5% F’s. Plus and minus grades will be given for total raw scores falling above or below the boundary lines between grades. There is no extra credit. A make-up exam (not multiple-choice) will be given only if an exam is missed for a valid reason.

This is an applied math course and carries the Quantitative Reasoning flag. It is assumed that you are able to do simple calculations with fractions or decimals, solve linear equations in one or two variables, solve quadratic equations, and understand sets, functions, probability, expected value, and infinite series. If you are unfamiliar with any or all of these topics, please seek my help outside of class.
In addition, this course is supported by Peer-Led Undergraduate Studying. PLUS study groups provide an opportunity to collaboratively practice skills and knowledge you need for success in this course. Feel free to attend any study group at any point in the semester; more information on times and locations will be available through Canvas or announced in class. Go to wikis.utexas.edu/display/PLUS or Facebook to find out more about PLUS.
Exams
There will be three in-class multiple-choice exams covering material from each of the three sections of the course. Each exam is of the problem-solving type, similar to the SAT math exam. There is no final exam. A make-up exam (not multiple-choice) will be given only if an exam is missed for a valid reason. There will also be three announced quizzes. There are no make-up quizzes.
Grades
The first two exams will have about 16 to 20 questions, the third 14 to 16 questions. Each quiz will have 2 or 3 questions. Each question is worth one point. The points you receive on the three exams and your highest-scoring quiz are added together to determine your total score. These scores will be curved to determine your final grade, approximating the following distribution: 30% A’s, 35% B’s, 20% C’s, 10% D’s and 5% F’s. Plus and minus grades will be given for total scores falling just above or below the boundary lines between grades. After the boundary lines have been determined, the score a student receives on his second-highest quiz will be added to his total score as extra credit to determine his final grade. Extra credit can raise a student’s grade at most to the next highest grade level (e.g. from a B+ to an A-).

Advice from a previous “A” student on how to study for exams:
“…I retain a lot from lecture. But, I fill out the study sheet and put the main points together with their matching “organizing principle.” I use the text if I have something missing from my notes or I need more information about something on the study sheet. Also reading the text helps me clarify events and keep things in chronological order.”

Touching briefly on the Civil War, we then take up Reconstruction, “Redemption,” and the agrarian movement of the late 19th century, followed by the period of the “Solid South” in the first half of the 20th century. Next we examine the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 60s, followed by the rise of southern Republicans in the late 20th century. Lastly, we examine Texas’s congressional redistricting in 2003.
Exams and Grades
There will be three in-class, multiple-choice exams on the dates noted below. The exams are not cumulative. There is no final exam. The first two exams have 35 questions and the last one has 30 questions for a total of 100 points on all three exams. The raw scores on the three exams are added and the total raw scores are then curved to determine your final grade, approximating the following distribution: 30% A’s, 35% B’s, 20% C’s, 10% D’s, and 5% F’s. Plus and minus grades will be given for total raw scores falling above or below the boundary lines between grades. There is no extra credit. A make-up exam (not multiple-choice) will be given only if an exam is missed for a valid reason.

There will be three in-class multiple-choice exams covering material from each of the three sections of the course. Each exam is of the problem-solving type, similar to the SAT math exam. There is no final exam. A make-up exam (not multiple-choice) will be given only if an exam is missed for a valid reason. There will also be three announced quizzes. There are no make-up quizzes.
Grades
The first two exams will have about 16 to 20 questions, the third 14 to 16 questions. Each quiz will have 2 or 3 questions. Each question is worth one point. The points you receive on the three exams and the highest-scoring quiz are added together to determine your total score. These scores will be curved to determine your final grade, approximating the following distribution: 30% A’s, 35% B’s, 20% C’s, 10% D’s and 5% F’s. Plus and minus grades will be given for total scores falling just above or below the boundary lines between grades. After the boundary lines have been determined, the score a student receives on his second-highest quiz will be added to his total score to determine his final grade.

Meets TTH 11:00AM-12:30PM MEZ 2.124
Course Description
The course will review Southern political history from the 1780s to the present. In the first part of the course, we review the events which transformed the South from a region of progressive nationalism from the 1780s to the 1810s to a region of defensive sectionalism from the 1820s to the 1860s. Touching briefly on the Civil War, we then take up Reconstruction and the agrarian movement of the late 19th century, followed by the period of the “Solid South” in the first half of the 20th century. Next we examine the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 60s, followed by the rise of southern Republicans in the late 20th century.
Grading Policy
There will be three in-class, multiple-choice exams on the dates noted below. The exams are not cumulative. There is no final exam. The first two exams have 35 questions and the last one has 30 questions for a total of 100 points on all three exams. The raw scores on the three exams are added and the total raw scores are then curved to determine your final grade. There is no extra credit. A make-up exam (not multiple-choice) will be given only if an exam is missed for a valid reason. The top 30% of the class will receive an A, the next 35% a B, the next 20% a C, the next 10% a D, and the bottom 5% a grade of F. There are no pluses or minuses.

Course Description

Grading Policy
There are 35 multiple-choice questions on the first two exams and 30 multiple-choice questions on the third exam. Each question counts for one point, so there are 100 points in all. After the first exam, the scores will be divided into five brackets with scores from 35-28 assigned to the first bracket, 27-24 to the second bracket, 23 to whatever score separates the top 80% of the class from the bottom 20% of the class to the third bracket, the next 15% of the class assigned to the fourth bracket, and the bottom 5% of the class to the fifth bracket. These brackets will be posted on Blackboard after the first test and are not grades but are meant to let you know how you are doing. After the second test, the class will be divided again into five brackets based on the sum of the two test scores with the top bracket 70-56, the second bracket 55-49, the third bracket 48 to whatever score separates the top 80% of the class from the bottom 20%, the next 15% of the class assigned to the fourth bracket, and the bottom 5% of the class to the fifth bracket. Again, these brackets will be posted on Blackboard and are advisory only and not grades. After the third exam, the class will again be divided, but the brackets will be based on the sum of each student’s scores on all three exams, so the maximum possible score is 100 points. These final brackets will be posted on Blackboard and used to determine the grades, with students in the top bracket of 100-82 receiving a grade of A, 81-80 a grade of A-,79-78 a B+, 77-72 a B, 71-70 a B-, 69-68 a C+, 67 to whatever score separates the top 80% of the class from the bottom 20% a C or C- (for the bottom two scores), the next 15% some type of D (the top two scores in the bracket receiving a D+ and the bottom two scores a D-), and the bottom 5% a grade of F.
