This online course requires students to participate in weekly online discussions, complete peer evaluations, module tests, and a final exam. A student's grade is 50% based on their participation in discussions, taking into account peer evaluations, and 50% on the final exam, plus any bonus from module tests. With a final grade of 5.5 or higher, students will receive a certificate of proof from completing the course hosted by the Maastricht Graduate School of Governance. The course schedule has students completing weekly pre-discussion tasks and participating in post-discussion forums for prior modules.
