The final grade for this course will be based on:
Class participation, preparation, and attendance 40%
Blog activity 30%
Presentation 30%
Every week, students are required to post questions, reflections, and observations on the material that we study. The post should be at least 250 words and can respond or refer to previous entries.
The final project for this class involves the preparation and delivery of an in-class collaborative presentation (around 30-minutes long) on any topic concerning Europe and the European Union. The topic may or may not be one covered in class, but for her/his presentation each student needs to refer to at least one work NOT listed in the syllabus for this class. Moreover, each student should contact the instructor no later than March 5 to discuss the topic of his her presentation. The topic can be changed later in the semester, in consultation with the instructors.
