The course is intended for Erasmus students only. Students will be responsible for reading the required material PRIOR to the seminar for which it has been assigned. Readings will serve as the basis for class discussions. The instructor reserves the right to alter the readings in order to facilitate the class. The students are required to regularly follow the latest developments connected with the course topics using the www.europa.eu.int, www.euractiv.com, www.politico.eu, www.euobserver.com websites, The Economist (www.economist.com) and the Financial Times (www.ft.com). In order to complete the course the students need to have full attendance. Only two classes can be missed, but only when excused (see the note below), pass a written test (open-question test) and submit an essay (electronically via e-mail). Students are encouraged to come up with their own suggestions regarding the essay topics. The essay should meet all requirements for an analytical work and be properly footnoted. |
