The goals of the course are to familiarize students with the operations of the UN, provide an introduction to international relations focusing on selected countries and issues, and teach how to develop and present oral and written proposals in the UN vernacular. Such knowledge contributes to global awareness. These skills are beneficial in the academic and professional environments. 5 points each 10 pts. Total 100 pts.
Assignments are due at the beginning of class.
Quizzes will cover all reading material assigned. Students who anticipate missing a class on an exam, assignment, or quiz day should contact the professor beforehand to see if an accommodation can be made. Students who regularly arrive late or miss class should not expect the professor to provide outside assistance. Additionally, these students will not be awarded the benefit of the doubt or rounding up in the computation of final grades. More than four absences during the semester is considered excessive.
