Teaching methods

The class begins with a presentation of theoretical aspects of the weekly subject matter, is enhanced with animated discussions and follows with a case study depicting real life situations. Much of the intellectual value of this course arises from discussion in class, analysis of different case studies, video presentations, and group comments. The goal is to create a comfortable and energetic forum for intellectually creative exchange from which we all learn. Students are encouraged to participate through discussions, debates, exercises, presentations, and group work. Students will gain a deeper understanding of major aspects of international law and develop their abilities to think and write critically about issues relating to international law.
