Course Format
The London courses are based on real-life practicum situations. There will be two sessions each day. Each daily session begins with a short lecture/presentation by U.S. or British faculty. The presentations deal with the problems based on the practicums. Following the presentation, participants work in small groups to discuss, analyze and solve the problems. Following the intensive group work, the daily session concludes with a meeting of the entire class where the small groups, with faculty guidance, report on the results of the group work. Working in teams of two, participants prepare three short debriefing and planning papers based on what was learned during the daily sessions.
The Papers
There will be no in-class examinations. Students are assessed on three debriefing and planning papers and one final paper for each course. All work is assessed on an A-F basis. No written work is due the first day of each course.
Each course requires three short (2-4 pages) debriefing and planning papers and one final paper. The debriefing and planning papers are due at the beginning of each day. The final papers for both sessions are due Friday, August 13, 2010, may not exceed sixteen double-spaced pages with 12 point font and one inch margins and are based on individual and group work conducted during the daily sessions and continued research. Faculty will approve final paper topics by the conclusion of each course. Participants may seek faculty guidance as they prepare final papers.
