Teachers usually turn to experiential education when they are
dissatisfied with the so-called traditional classroom. At its worst,
conventional teaching dissects the political world into an array of
component parts. Sometimes students read the latest scholarship, but
the treatment of politics is often either blandly descriptive or too
abstract. This type of teaching can rob politics of its pulsing
energy, which, ironically, attracted many political scientists into
the field. While most political scientists find politics exciting,
the norms of the discipline can enervate the importance and drama of
politics. Student calls for more "current events" are a frequent
response to these academic experiences.
