Metodi didattici
Law, Economics, and Culture deliberately explores and experiments with emerging international economic law, religious economics, Business and HR legal cases. The course employs role playing (you will act as professional analysts and lawyers); participatory scholarship (you are co-researchers, not students); collective curation (everyone actively authors, reviews, rates and recommends content); regenerative curriculum (every cohort self-selects and authors their own curriculum, building upon the work of previous cohorts); and open conference (your work will be discussed live in a final conference).
Regular student activities can include:
• assigned readings, with some activity that enables students to demonstrate their understanding;
• questions requiring short paragraph answers which may be shared with other students for comparison or discussion;
• formally marked and assessed weekly assignments in the form of short essays or reports;
• individual or group project work spaced over several weeks;
• online discussion forums, which the instructor will need to organize and monitor.
Modalità verifica apprendimento
This is a Course with a strong teaching structure: students know exactly what they need to learn, what they are supposed to do to learn this, and when and where they are supposed to do it. A reasonable estimate is that one credit graduate course is roughly equivalent to about 18 hours study a week, or a total of roughly 200 hours over 11 weeks. There will be some basic ideas and principles on whom students must spend time on each week of the course. Consequently, students will receive instructions about what they are supposed to do each week, but IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT STUDENTS DO NOT PROCRASTINATE ONLINE WORK AND HOPE TO CATCH UP TOWARDS THE END OF THE COURSE. Moreover, the course is assessed on four facets of participation:
1. an individually-published Case study Legal Analysis + a quiz concerning Basic notions of International law (20%)
2. a team-published Emerging Country Analysis (20%)
3. an individually-published Conference report (40%)
4. and a Participation Portfolio (20%) summarizing other contributions to the course.
