Students in Professor Tom Sutton's Political Science course, Introduction to Political Analysis, engaged in "learning by doing," conducting an election survey showing voter sentiment ahead of the upcoming Lakewood city elections. The students, under the guidance of Sutton, who also directs BW's Community Research Institute, created the survey questions, managed the phone surveys and analyzed the results.
The class concluded that there was strong support among adult Lakewood residents for the city schools bond issue and levy. Results were published in the Lakewood Observer.
