Opetusmenetelmät

During the course you will follow introductory lectures, give and assist to student group presentations, and write an individual assignment. The teaching methods emphasize critical thinking, classroom activities and students learning from one another.

Harjoittelu- ja työelämäyhteistyö

You will improve your skill set particularly in the areas of group work, analytical thinking and critical thinking. You will also gain a clearer understanding of the major institutions that govern (or fail to govern) global society at large.

Tenttien ajankohdat ja uusintamahdollisuudet

While certain individual classroom exercises may be evaluated by the teacher, these do not affect the students' grades. There are no exams in this course properly speaking.

Kansainvälisyys

The course gives an overview of some of the most important international institutions such as the United Nations Security Council and NATO as well as principles governing specific policy areas such as the Responsibility to Protect doctrine. This is intended to also assist students in navigating the global labor market.

Toteutuksen valinnaiset suoritustavat

There are no alternative completion methods, being present in campus is necessary.

Opiskelijan ajankäyttö ja kuormitus

The full hours corresponding to 5 ECTS are expected from the student. Most of the work outside of classroom is making sure the student understands the basic concepts and categories we use to analyze the world of international relations, preparing a presentation with a group of students, as well as researching and writing the individual assignment.

Lisätiedot

The course is assessed in terms of active participation and the quality of the presentation together with the discussion that follows it (40%), and the individual written assignment (60%). Following instructions and paying close attention in class are required. Using AI for any purpose during the course is strictly prohibited, since it has proven to give poor and unreliable results in this area.
