The panel session is designed to facilitate a discussion between students and the two teachers. Once again we will make use of the different groups from the group work. The panel debate is organised so that the different groups will be able to ask questions and debate issues of regional and global governance with the teachers. One or both teachers will try to answer the questions and whenever relevant the groups will be able to respond.

Instructions for panel debate:

• The panel will be moderated by the teachers.

• Each group needs to submit 3-4 questions in writing to the teachers two days in advance of the seminar. Different types of questions are allowed. One possibility is that the questions relate in some way to reflections, problems or findings from their group work assignment. But there are also other possibilities, and questions are also allowed on issues and themes that are not covered as much in the lectures and the readings. The general intention is to facilitate an insightful discussion - but with a focus on the general theme of the course.

• The questions need to be submitted by the group chairs no later than Monday 27 November, 17.00, in this discussion forum. Each group should decide in advance who states the questions during the debate.

• The teachers will pre-check and (when possible) coordinate the questions in advance in order to avoid overlap and duplication between the questions.

Oral course evaluation

There will be two course evaluations, one oral and one written. Both evaluations are important for us in order to improve the quality of our courses. We strongly urge you to complete the written course evaluation after the end of the course, but the oral evaluation serves a complementary function.

The idea of the oral course evaluation is to facilitate a more open discussion between the students and the teachers. Our experience is that a verbal discussion opens up the possibility for more in-depth understanding of anticipated weaknesses of the course. The goal is that this discussion will also help us to find good solutions to the anticipated weaknesses.

Please show your support for future students and participate in both the oral and the written course evaluations.

Also feel free to share your reflections with the course coordinators at any time during the course.
