The African Politics and Culture class is a unique class by itself. It is a 400 level political science class that teaches about the politics of Africa and what is going on there today as well as the culture of Africa. What makes this class even more unique is that a requirment for the class is to do community service hours and the communinty servive you need to do is go and teach students about African politics and culture. This is a great teaching tool because you are teaching others about what you leraned in class and you are learning from the discussion you have with the class you are teaching. I taught high school student and had a great time doing it. I learned from them and I know they learned from me too.
