Thank you for smoking: learning about politics.
Abstract
The subfield of political interest groups is difficult to teach and for students to understand coherently. While it is descriptively and conceptually rich, it is challenging for students to organize and to apply the information in manageable ways. We report on our utilization of a writing assignment over a satirical novel, Thank You for Smoking, as an analytical exercise to improve student comprehension of this important subject matter, and as a way to make political interest groups courses more enjoyable for students.
