Welcome to the Principles of International Politics web site!
To get started, select one of the 19 buttons (each of which corresponds to a chapter from the text) on the left side of the screen. Then select the desired
activity for that chapter: Study, Quiz, Flashcards, Exercises, or Walk-throughs.
The Study section for each chapter contains a chapter summary and review questions. You can click on the “Answer” box following each review question,
write out your response in the pop-up box, and email it to your instructor. At the top of the list of review questions, you have the option of answering multiple questions
in one box and sending all of your responses in one email message.
The Quiz section allows you to test your mastery of the material via multiple-choice and true-false questions provided for each chapter. You can opt to take each quiz with immediate or summarized results. For the “immediate” path, you see correct and incorrect answers question by question; for the “summarized” path,
you will answer all quiz questions and then see correct and incorrect answers at the end, replicating a more realistic testing environment. After completing the quiz,
you will see your “detailed results” which include your percentage grade for the quiz and outline your results by question type (e.g., conceptual, factual, and
vocabulary) and by chapter section. You can also click on “see all answers” to see each of your responses. And please click on “email” to send your quiz results to your
instructor.
The Flashcards allow you to review the key terms from the book. You can view terms and click for definitions, or vice versa, view definitions and click for terms. You can mark terms you would like to return to for further study, as well as shuffle and reset the cards.
The Exercises give you a chance to practice some of the most important conceptual and technical problems the book presents. These include: hypothesis
formation, using symbols to express preferences, identifying certain kinds of theoretical assumptions, backward induction, solving strategic form games, or identifying
first mover advantage. Certain exercises link to Word or PDF documents that you can print out, work on or fill out, and possibly turn in, depending on your professor’s
instructions. Other exercises offer an “Answer” button. If you click on this button, a pop-up box appears in which you can write your response and email it to your
instructor.
The Walk-throughs section offers a series of brief PowerPoint slide shows that walk you through technical ideas in the book such as prisoner’s dilemma, backwards induction, and the median voter theorem to reinforce material in the text and in lectures.
To return to the opening screen, select the Home button.
