On Tuesday, 24 January, President Obama will deliver his State of the Union address before a joint session of Congress.  It will be carried live on most major networks Tuesday at 6 PM California time (9:00 PM Washington Time) and will be available in streaming video on many sites afterward.  A President's State of the Union Address is a major event for anyone who cares about the nation or its economy.  I strongly recommend that all my students watch it -- whether live or delayed.  It is directly relevant to both Political Science and Economics classes.  Students in POLS P101 and ECON P102 will get extra credit (2 points) if they watch the speech and write up a 1-page response sharing one thing they liked and one thing they disliked about the proposals made by the president.  Submit it through Turnitin.com by 11:59 PM on Monday, January 30.  Turnitin.com instructions and course ID # & password are on the last page of your syllabus, I will not accept the extra credit late or in any form except through turnitin.com.
