Now that you have explored campaigns and elections, you will engage in a “check for understanding” conversation with your instructor. This conversation will serve as your Application for this topic, and will cover campaign funding, the influence of the media, and reapportionment. During this conversation, your instructor will provide you a prompt or series of questions about the material you just learned. Your instructor will expect you to provide detailed information about this topic’s content. In order to prepare for this activity, you should make sure that you have:

1. Read or viewed the material that has been covered in this topic;
2. Taken notes on any assigned content; and
3. Reviewed your notes and instructor feedback from previous assignments.
