8. Teaching Methods and Recommendations
The course is interactive, taught jointly with Russian and foreign representatives of analytical
communities through video-conferencing. Lectures combined with the discussion of reading for the
week, followed by a video-lecture and discussion with Russian and foreign representatives of
analytical communities.
Students are also required to make report and oral presentation of their home work.
Recommendations for course teacher
It is recommended to use interactive teaching methods which allow for most student participation such as: discussions, case studies, role plays. It is also expected that videos, Power Point presentations, and distant video conferencing will be used for teaching.
Национальный исследовательский университет «Высшая школа экономики»
Программа дисциплины «Современная политическая наука» для направления 030200.68«Политология»
подготовки магистра
The course is intended to be based on real-life case studies, multimedia examples and current
events.
Recommendations for Students
The course format mixes lectures, group discussion, and video presentations. Students should
take notes, both on lectures and on the reading, and presentations, with the intention of addressing the
key themes of the course.
The readings are demanding and require intensive examination of a broad variety of issues and
modes of thought. Students are encouraged to express diverse perspectives. You are likely to encounter
strong opinions and it is inevitable that at least some of these opinions will make you or your colleagues uncomfortable. You will be expected to strike a healthy balance between arguing your own
position on these issues, listening to others, and helping the class as a collectivity to explore how the
authors that you read defend their approaches. Students and the instructors should interact with each
other in a mutually respectful manner. They should articulate their ideas, concerns, arguments, critical
questions and responses without alienating, marginalizing, or humiliating anyone. (For example,
please avoid disrespectful ad hominem arguments, slanderous statements, hurtful stereotyping, or intentionally offensive non-verbal gesturing). I am not requiring you to be “PC” (politically correct), but
rather “BC” (basically civil).
9. The rule of forming cumulative grade
Оcurrent for 1st module = n1·Оessay;
Оcumulative for 1st module= k1* Оcurrent for 1st module + k2* Оwork in class for 1st module + k3* Оindependent students’ work for 1st module
Оintermediate for 1st module = m1·О cumulative for 1st module + m2·Оintermediate test for 1st module
Оcurrent for 2nd module = n1·Оhome work;
Оcumulative for 2nd module= k1* Оcurrent for 2nd module + k2* Оwork in class for 2nd module + k3* Оindependent students’ work for 2nd module
Оcumulative final= (Оintermediate for 1st module+ Оcumulative for 2nd module): 2
Оfinal = k1·Оcumulative final + k2·Оfinal test

10. Equipment
The course is taught through video-conferencing, so it requires a video-screen, videoconferencing device with (Polycom), microphones and amplifiers.
