International Organizations 3620-IO-SP-OG

This class provides an overview of international
organizations, both governmental and non-governmental,
as well as other kinds of transnational entities.
This course will examine the ways in which diverse
organizations operate amid a fast-changing environment.
It emphasizes the core principles of both global and local
international organizations.
Students will investigate the ways in which global and
regional collaboration can address worldwide and
contemporary issues.
Emphasizing peacekeeping, economic growth, and human
rights will enhance the learner's comprehension of
international political and social dynamics.
Through 15 interactive sessions, students are familiarized
with the workings, behaviors, functions, and concepts
related to international entities. 
The program will provide learners with the skills necessary
to analyze, evaluate, and creatively engage with a key
institution in the realm of international relations.
As international relations become more legalized and
globalized, it is crucial to equip the upcoming generation of
leaders with knowledge about fundamental concepts,
political dynamics, and the challenges present in the global
arena.
Consequently, this program will provide attendees with the
resources to analyze one of the core structures of global
society in a doctrinal, critical, and creative manner.
The course is grounded in the instructor's extensive
background in academia, having taught at three universities
in the U.S., along with his thorough insight into the current
expectations of employers looking for appealing graduates
from higher education institutions. 
Thus, it embraces and develops critical thinking skills at the
modern higher education level.
Engaging in higher-level thinking requires surpassing the
simple act of remembering and reciting facts and data.
Consequently, the skills associated with critical thinking
are cultivated and enhanced within the university course I
offer.
It even goes beyond comprehension. Higher-order thinking
refers to cognitive processes that involve analytical, critical
and creative thinking. The concept is based on various
learning taxonomies, such as application, analysis,
evaluation, creation, problem-solving, connecting ideas and
making decisions.
Many of these cognitive tasks, including the recall of
information, appear to occur simultaneously (hierarchical
classifications).
Therefore, I’ve included higher education thinking skills
from the start of our class including these approaches:
1. Real-world Scenarios

One of the most effective ways to assess higher-order
thinking is to use scenario-based questions and topics of
our virtual classroom discussions, particularly ones that
simulate real work experiences and touch on current rapid
changes in events on the international arena
2. Analysis of Visuals
We may also assess critical thinking skills by asking you to
analyze or interpret information from visuals, which may
be provided as part of the question stem or the answer
choices. In many cases, visuals simulate workplace tasks.
The link to join the course via Zoom will be shared on the
university's website (kampus.uw.edu.pl) a minimum of
seven days before the first class begins.
