Hopes, Dreams and Fears

Alright here goes for the first blog post. A little about myself, my name is Bart Bettiga and I am a fourth year Poli Sci major.  I'm from Green Bay originally but this is my second year at UWM.  I just hope to gain more in depth knowledge of the party system in the U.S., particularly regarding the two-party dominance that doesn't seem to be going anywhere.  I'm particularly interested in independent parties, and the role they play in our system.  I've taken online courses through UWM before, although this is my only one this semester.  The only thing that bothers me about online courses is that you don't always know what to expect regarding tests and quizzes, or what the instructor is looking for.  I've also never had a blog before, but I look forward to the experience from this course.
