Críticas
"Practicing Texas Politics is a friendly text for introductory Texas government students. It is organized well, offers features to aid students in reading and self-learning, outlines key learning objectives that may be used in assessment, and provides rich examples and graphics for instruction. It covers the range of topics essential to an introductory government course, including the Texas constitution, federalism, political parties, interest groups, the media, and the three branches of government, yet it has the added benefit of focusing on public policy. Woven throughout the text is discussion of and attention paid to modern policy issues evolving in Texas, including but not limited to healthcare expansion, education financing, death penalty, pollution, drought. This focus makes the text interesting for students and valuable for instructors."
