Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on learners from Wingate University to be your learner-consultants, in a project-based experience. Learners will work on one main project over the experience of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools. Learners in this program/experience will be introduced to the nature and development of political opinions; political socialization; voting behavior; and the relation between opinions and public policy. What do people think about politics and why? Where do they develop these beliefs? How do these beliefs translate into election outcomes and public policies? And how exactly do we know what these opinions are? Additionally, this course will teach students to design, conduct, and interpret public opinion polls.
