Course Description: Survey of the historical and contemporary political experiences of Asian
Americans and their pursuits for immigration, equality, citizenship, political identity, racial
justice, homeland independence, cross-racial/ethnic coalition-building, and incorporation into the
U.S. political system.

Required Reading: All the assigned journal articles and book chapters can be found in the
course website on Gauchospace, http://gauchospace.ucsb.edu/ (under Pol S/As Am 160).

Teaching/Learning Strategies: Teaching and learning in this course will consist of lectures,
discussions, and video presentations. My goal is to help each student develop a broad
knowledge base and an ability to think critically of issues on race, ethnicity, and politics largely
within the US political context and from the perspectives of Asian Americans themselves.

Although political science is the main approach used in this class, the readings are selected from
diverse origins to reflect the multidisciplinary nature of scholarship on Asian American Studies
and US racial and ethnic politics. As we will often be discussing unfamiliar, challenging, and
controversial topics, it is important that everyone comes to class having read and thought about
the readings and is prepared to contribute to class discussion in a mature and civilized manner.

Please be reminded that oftentimes we have to agree to disagree and be respectful of opinions
that are different from our own.
Grading: Exam (2) 55% (Midterm on 10/31; Final on 12/12)
Response Paper (2) 35% (1st paper due 10/15; 2nd paper due 11/21)
Participation 10% (5% in TA Session + 5% in Lecture Hall)
Attendance/Exam/Assignment Policy: You are expected to be in class on time and to remain in
class the entire time. Cell phone must remain off. Regular classroom attendance is required, as
the contents of the exams/assignments will come from both assigned readings and materials
presented in class. Absences make it more difficult and time-consuming for you to understand
the class topics. If you have to be late or absent, you are responsible for making arrangements to
obtain materials and information you missed.

Each Exam will consist of Brief Identification and Short Essay questions. Make-up exams are permitted only under extreme circumstances or for excused absences arranged prior to the
scheduled exam time.

The Response Paper invites you to critically assess the main arguments made in the assigned
readings associated with the preceding three weekly topics before the due date. Each paper must
begin by identifying the topic(s) or issue(s) for discussion. In addition to demonstrating your
familiarity with the readings and relevant materials made in class, you should use the occasion to
express your approval or disapproval (and like or dislike) with certain points made in the
assigned readings (and in class). This is an opinion paper, and should not be a mere summary of
readings. Each paper should be about 5 pages, typed, double-spaced, and spell-checked. Be
sure to refer to the sources of information in your paper in short citation format (e.g., Aoki and
Takeda 2009, p. 21; Lai 2011, p. 49). For general writing assistance, please consult the Campus
Learning Assistance Service (CLAS) http://www.clas.ucsb.edu/.

Writing assignments must be submitted through Gauchospace and saved in MS Word format
by the due date/hour. Unexcused late submission is subject to a 20% penalty and must be
completed soon as possible and within 7 days of the deadline.

Extra Credit Opportunities: Up to 3% of the total grade can be earned by attending campus
events related to the class. You should document participation in each event by submitting a onepage
write-up of your thoughts and observations on how it is related to topics covered in class.

The absolute last day of submission is Dec. 5 by 9:30am, in class, no late submissions.

Students with Special Needs: The University seeks to provide equal access to its programs,
services, and activities for people with disabilities. If you need accommodations in this class,
reasonable prior notice needs to be given to the instructor, TA, and to the Disabled Students
Program, 2120 Student Resource Building, 893-2668 to make arrangements for accommodation.

Campus Advocacy, Resources and Education (CARE): CARE provides confidential 24-hour
advocacy services and support for students impacted by sexual assault, dating/domestic violence
and stalking. To make an appointment, call the 24/7 confidential line at (805)-983-4613. For
more information, please see: http://wgse.sa.ucsb.edu/care/

Academic Misconduct: Each student is expected to act with honesty and integrity, and to
respect the rights of others in carrying out all academic assignments. Academic misconduct
includes cheating, fabrication of information, and plagiarism. Examples of cheating include
looking at another student’s exam, allowing another student to look at your exam, giving cues to
others on answers, referencing a “cheat sheet,” making arrangements to have another student
take your exam in your place, gaining unauthorized access to an exam, working with others on
assignments or exams without express permission from your instructor, and submitting the same
paper or substantial portions of the same paper for multiple classes without express permissions
of the instructor. Examples of fabrication include creating imaginary data and/or quotations and
inventing references. Examples of plagiarism include failing to cite any major idea created by
some other person or entity, failing to cite and/or enclose in quotation marks all words, phrases,
and sentences copied from another source, failing to cite paraphrased work of others, and
acquiring a paper or project from a research service or another source and submitting it as your work for academic evaluation. All instances of academic misconduct will not be tolerated.
