Academic Requirements

Students will be expected to complete assigned readings; attend and participate regularly in all scheduled classes and events; and successfully pass a final written examination for each course. The final grade will be based on the examination and also on attendance and participation.

Academic conduct

The Washington College of Law-American University Academic Integrity Code and Student Conduct Code are fully incorporated herein by reference and will govern the participants' conduct.

Daily schedule

There will generally be one class period (e.g. 9:00-13:00) or up to two visits and briefings per day. Evenings and weekends will normally be free for individual activities and for taking advantage of the many cultural and recreational opportunities available in the countries visited. See the actual itinerary for more details.

Laptops

Bringing a laptop is each student's decision. If you bring it along, make sure that files have been backed up and that you have insurance in case of loss or theft. In the hotels that the group will use there is normally free wireless access to the internet. Thus a laptop can facilitate keeping in touch, doing research etc.
