• skills to give own recommendations for modification of policies and find new solutions for the EU as well as for Eastern European countries. Improves abilities to assess geopolitical risks in regard to the EU Eastern Policy
Assessment criteria
While assessing the overall performance of a student, the coordinator takes into account the number of absences, activity during classes (preparing compulsory readings) and the quality of tasks (analytical paper, presentation of this paper and participation in the debate).
The fundamental condition of receiving a graded pass is the presence during classes. A student has a right to be absent twice and only during these weeks when she/he does not perform a presentation (!).
Furthermore, in order to be able to fulfil the required tasks, each student has to take part in the workshop.
