PAF 112 Civic Engagement
3 college credits.
Civic Engagement: Public Service and American Democracy
Have you ever read the news or overheard a conversation about politics and felt helpless? You are not alone! Many people ask questions like: Does my vote matter? How do federal policies affect me? How can I make a difference? American Democracy is defined by its people participating, voicing their opinions, and making a difference. In this course, you will learn about civic engagement and how people like you shape the world. You will also gain insight into how you can become an active and engaged member of your own community. You will interview public service leaders, investigate local issues, and form the what, why, and how of civic engagement, which you will use to create a civic action portfolio.
This course is offered by Arizona State University. The ASU Syllabus Library may offer examples of past and present syllabi for this course.
