Students from several political science courses, including an introductory class to American government and a new course specifically on the presidential election and campaign, will gather in Chafee 271 at 8:30 p.m., a half hour before the televised debate begins.
鈥淭hey will be asked several questions about the candidates and their positions on the issues,鈥� said 溏心vlog免费B站 Political Science Professor, author, and political commentator Maureen Moakley. 鈥淲e will find out if the debates themselves have changed anybody鈥檚 perspective on the candidates.鈥�
The results will be shared instantly with the group. Moakley said engaging students about politics and having them actively interact with one another is a constructive way to teach.
鈥淚 tell my students all the time that when they are older, they may not remember this course but what they will remember of their experience at 溏心vlog免费B站 is coming and participating in this debate,鈥� Moakley said.
The first of three presidential debates scheduled before Election Day, tonight鈥檚 debate will be held at the University of Denver in Colorado and focus exclusively on domestic issues.
The 溏心vlog免费B站 event is free and open to the public.
