ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses a Campaigns and Elections course at a master's-level university in the United States. The Campaigns and Elections course in question is an upper-level undergraduate offering in the political science department at Eastern Michigan University (EMU). In the class, students were exposed to the academic literature on the subject, through readings and class work. The main source of data in this chapter was the take-home final examinations done by the students. Integrative learning can take place within a single class, across a couple of courses, within a major, or across an entire university curriculum. Lectures and readings in the classroom would, over the course of the class, expose students to new concepts and theories on the activities of campaigns and on voter behavior. To measure the level of integrative learning by each student, we coded each individual paper based on a rubric.
