Welcome to CIVIC ENGAGEMENT 101for both my Intro to Politics – POL 110 [Service Learning / OER / ZTC] and Intro to American Government – POL 100 [OER / ZTC] courses at BMCC. The theme for the course is ‘SOFT POWER’. The content on these pages will be updated from time to time. Suggestions welcome to improve content. Feel free to use resources as part of OER but please cite appropriately [especially the student projects – they put in a lot of time in developing the final project content ;]
