AP Comparative Government asks students to analyze six political systems side by side — distinguishing, say, how Iran's theocratic elements coexist with electoral institutions, or why Nigeria's federalism functions differently than Mexico's. Morgan's international and area studies concentration at WashU gives her a framework for connecting regime types, political culture, and policy outcomes across these cases. She teaches students to think comparatively rather than just memorize country profiles.

That analytical habit is what the AP exam's free-response questions are actually testing.

He teaches students to build comparison charts that translate directly into high-scoring free-response answers.

A journalism background might seem unrelated to comparative politics, but Daniel's Mass Communications training at VCU built exactly the skill this course tests: analyzing how institutions, media, and power structures interact across different societies. He teaches students to treat each country's political system as a story with its own internal logic — making it easier to compare, say, how Iran and Mexico handle political participation without confusing the details. Rated 4.5 by students.
