Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Most of the classes are theoretical-practical, with a lecture component dedicated to the transmission of contents and a practical one in which students are actively involved with interventions and debates on the topics addressed. After all the international organizations included in the syllabus are addressed, the ensuing classes are dedicated to the presentation of student group works on other international organizations. Finally, the course unit is completed with a crisis management simulation of a NATO North Atlantic Council meeting.
