Favorite Teaching Resources

  • National Constitution Center

    An interactive look at the US Constitution. This is a great resource to engage students.

  • PBS Crash Course, Government and Politics

    This is a great resource for students who need a refresher or need to be brought up to speed on key terminology, issues, and moments.

  • Julie Novkov, "How to Read a Case"

    Novkov’s short essay is a great resource for students who haven’t read a court case before.

  • How to Write a Brief

    WestLaw is a great resource in general, but this one is especially useful whether students are using the IRAC method or another method to brief cases.

  • Purdue OWL

    A classic resource for any course, Purdue’s OWL is great for writing, citations, and resumes.

  • ANES data center

    Helping students understand data is a big part of the job. ANES is a great resource.

Resources I’m currently using
