  • Welcome to AP Comparative Gov. & Politics 

     
     
    To prepare for the class, do these five things.
     
    1. Watch  200 countries, 200 years in 4 minutes (4:48) at Gapminder  If you remember the video, share it with someone you like and respect.  If not, watch it before you download GAPMINDER and play with the data.

    2. Watch THE RIVER OF MYTHS  (2:51)

    Published on Jan 28, 2013


    Hans Rosling shows how measurement reveals incredible progress in saving the lives of children in what were once labeled "developing countries". If the few countries that still have high child mortality rates can follow the path of Ethiopia, preventable child deaths may be history by 2030. We must continue to closely measure this progress. Video created in partnership between The Gates Notes and Gapminder.

    3. Listen to Rosling on WHY he developed the GAPMINDER (1:46):

       http://www.gapminder.org/videos/free-statistics-for-democracy/
         
    4. GAPMINDER PROGRAM: Download and install GAPMINDER DESK to show and manipulate global statistics graphically on your computer.

    5. Click through the GAPMINDER UNDP Human Development Trends Interactive
        http://www.gapminder.org/downloads/human-development-trends-2005/ 
     
     
    If this captures your imagination and you like math, spend an hour with Rosling exploring THE JOY OF STATS:
        http://www.gapminder.org/videos/the-joy-of-stats/
     
    And, oh, yeah....Since you've gotten this far, I have a hint for you.  You might want to check 2014 APCG Assignments for buried treasure.
