Course for OER adoption: PSC 2230 Introduction to International Relations
Semester of planned adoption: Fall 2020
Project summary: To create a section of PSC 2230 Introduction to International Relations, utilizing International Relations, by Stephen McGlinchy, ed., through the Open Textbook Library. McGlinchey’s text is clear and the writing is well edited. The book’s chapters, while authored by different contributors, are consistently edited, giving the text a high degree of consistency. The organization, structure, and flow of the text are effective, and assigning the sections in a different order would not be detrimental to this.
