There will be 1 hour online lectures complemented by a two hour seminar each week. The seminars will be crucial as that is where the theories will be explored and applied to real life situations that have occurred in the last decade but more importantly, examples that are current each week of the semester.

See Appendix B of the Course Guide for the structure on the Seminars.

A key feature of this course will be to engage with the literature on Global Governance to produce a relevant Policy Brief that can be used by you to demonstrate to a future employer your ability to produce a comprehensive policy document.

Another key feature of this course is to use technology to collaborate in your Group to produce a comprehensive, relevant and professional report that can be used by you to demonstrate to a future employer your ability to collaborate to produce a professional report.

In addition, Students are encouraged to develop a LinkedIn account and profile to maximise communication opportunities within Canvas and to create opportunities for networking that may enhance future employment prospects.

All Group and Team Communication is to be through MyUni (Canvas). This will be covered in detail in the Week 1 Seminar.

The seminars will use a modified approach to the jigsaw method of pedagogy for SGDE where students will be based in Groups referred to as Consultancy Groups but also interact in what are referred to as Specialist Groups.

This will reinforce the practice of collaboration across each seminar, enable multi-tasking skills to be enhanced and contribute to the notion that Students at this level should be work place ready. This is extended to the Group Report which will require advanced collaboration skills along with oral presentation skills.

The Policy Brief is based on 3000 words.

A short Executive Summary indicating to whom the Brief is to be addressed to and the identified problem is to be presented in individual meetings set for week 3.

You will required to use Microsoft ‘calendar’ to book 15 minute meetings with Dr Martin Bailey.

The Policy Brief will consist of the following key components.

-A cover page

-A 2 page brief

-A review of relevant literature

-A comprehensive reference list

-Appendices

More specifically:-

A cover page that has specific details depending on to whom it is addressed.

A 2 page concise brief that details the problem, why it is a problem, short annotations of key sources, references to appendices as required, policy recommendations on how to solve the problem and why your recommendations will solve the problem.

A review of relevant literature consisting of at least 20 key sources. This will total 2000 words.

A complete and accurate reference list of those sources in the literature review and the appendices. Appendices that will consist of graphs, tables, charts etc. that all contribute to your 2 page brief. 

It is important that you do not attempt to solve a ‘Wicked problem’. See Appendix C of the Course Guide.

The Group Report is based on 500 words of text per Specialist Team Member with the team supporting all this with graphs, tables, charts and a comprehensive list of quality sources.

This will be submitted as one document electronically with a hard copy handed up in the Week 11 presentation. The group will present a 10 minute oral presentation to the Seminar with all team members contributing to the presentation.

The Tests will be taken over 10 weeks from Week 2 to Week 11. Each 20 question on-line Multiple Choice Test will ensure you have an understanding of the key concepts discussed in the Lecture and the readings. The Tests will be open from Midnight of the Sunday through to Midnight of the Mondayat the beginning of each week. The questions will be randomized with 0.1 mark available for each correct answer. After Midnight of the Monday, the Test will be closed off, the marks automatically applied, and the answers released to all students. The individual marks will be applied to Gradebook and available also.

Seminar participation will be assessed by evaluating how you collaborate with your Consultancy Group AND your Specialist Team along with how you disseminate feedback in both directions. This will be explained in detail in the Week 1 Seminar.

Forum Participation in the week 12 seminar will be an informed forum where you will all contribute to the future of Global Governance. The idea is that by week 12, you should all be sufficiently informed and able to carry out independent research that will allow you to contribute to your Group in that forum.
