Student Performance & Grading: All students are expected to complete assigned readings, participate regularly in all scheduled classes and activities, and successfully pass a final written exam for each course. Class attendance is required. Final grades for both courses are based on attendance, participation, and the final exam grade.
Location of Classes: Classes are held in the the conference centers of the hotel, with some held on-site at NGOs, firms, or occasionally at a university campus.
Additional Resources: In all 3 cities, we have arranged for students, faculty, and staff to have access to the libraries and library resources at local universities, if needed. All lodging provides access to business centers and the internet; however, we strongly suggest that all students bring their personal laptops for their convenience.
