Modalità di insegnamento

This course is designed for an interactive audience and requires an active participation of the students. Real cases and situations will be presented and discussed. Pre-assigned readings are PBL is a teaching method in which students gain knowledge and skills by working for an extended period of time to investigate and respond to an authentic, engaging, and complex question, problem, or challenge. The project is the vehicle for teaching the important knowledge and skills student need to learn. PBL requires critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, and various forms of communication.


To answer a driving question and create high-quality work, students need to do much more than remember information. They need to use higher-order thinking skills and learn to work as a team. Students demonstrate their knowledge and skills by creating a public product for a real audience. As a result, they develop deep content knowledge as well as critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and communication skills.

Modalità di verifica dell'apprendimento

Participation in class (50%)

Genuine student engagement with the course material and active participation of all students is essential to the success of this course. Participation will be assessed on the basis of:

- Regular presence in class.
- Teamwork.
- Contribution to discussion and active participation in class activities: active involvement for participation will be assessed by both the quantity and the quality of each student’s engagement during the discussions. The following criteria will be taken into account:

*Effective communication of ideas (logical organization of ideas/structure; clear explanations; relevant examples; appropriate use of visual or oral learning aids; ability to engage with the class).

*Understanding of topic, analysis and argument (explanation of relevant terms and socio-political context; explanation of principal debates; critical engagement with the relevant literature; articulation and defence of clear, insightful arguments, and/or stimulation of debate around different approaches to the issue under discussion; relevance and analytical depth of discussion questions).

Quality of the final work (50%)

Within session three, students will gather into groups. Throughout the course, each group will conduct deep research into a Transitional Justice theme or topic and will record themselves in a creative video. These videos should introduce the public to a topic—a country, regional, or crosscutting theme—not otherwise thoroughly covered in class. Students should choose a topic in consultation with the instructor to make sure that it is acceptable, and that it does not replicate another group’s work. The video should provide background and context to the Transitional Justice analysed issue. The findings should represent a consensus among the group. The video should last no more than 10 minutes.
