Pedagogy
- Sessions for this module will be conducted as interactive seminars with an emphasis on discussions and Q&A. The classes will be conducted with the expectation that students have done – and reflected on – the readings. In addition, how much you learn will be driven by how much you reflect on and discuss social problems and potential solutions with your peers inside and outside the classroom. Students are highly encouraged to supplement the class readings with their own to further enrich the discussions.
- Students must complete the assigned readings and case studies prior to coming to class. Class participation is defined for this course as attending the class and engaging in the discussions such that it adds to the student’s and their classmates’ learning. Therefore, quality of contribution will receive higher grades.
