Notes

1. Given the self-selection, the distribution of syllabi among the seven types of approaches may indicate little. But half the syllabi fell into the one or two semester historical approach, probably about a quarter into the variations (modern political thought, political regimes) on history, and most of the remaining quarter into issues courses. I received about three contemporary ideologies syllabi (perhaps because those who teach it did not think it relevant to my charge) and about three syllabi that focused on how to think like a political theorist. (In addition, categorization was in some cases difficult or sheerly arbitrary, as with a course on “freedom in modern political thought.”)

2. Though the exemplar syllabi for two-semester history courses do show how much can be included.
