These resources originate from a 400-level seminar on the politics of the 1990s, a class co-taught by a full-time associate professor (Williams) and an undergraduate political science student (Powers). The class was fruitful both in its conceptualization and content as well as the unique opportunity of co-teaching between a faculty member and an undergraduate. These resources reflect both of these facets: first, an annotated syllabus from the course that explains the content across the semester and background reading and preparation; second, a reflective guide for political scientists interested in working closely with undergraduate students in delivering course material.
