Bachelor Degree in Global Governance

Dear students,

there are a few questions about what is a front page. I have amended the template to clearly show one. You have a new Final Work Assignment for that. If you follow the format, the length of the paper will be determined, In any case, two full pages AND a front page. 

Best of luck and have fun!

Dear students,

in the many rewriting of the istructions, I missed to report one correction: The test will have 70 questions for 70 minutes. This has been done inserting 10 easier questions to ease an actually difficult test and give you more time to do it.

FG & AM

Dear students,

Due to problems with DIDA, the instruction emails for tomorrow exams have gone lost or wrongly sent!

 I write them again for the fourth time.

DISREGARD ANY PREVIOUS COMMUNICATION ABOUT THE MIDTERM!

Tomorrow’s midterm consists in two parts: a multiple-choice test and the presentation of the Stratex group videos. For the first one, detailed instructions follow: read them carefully, in your own interest!

For the Stratex, to allow grading and as announced, all group representatives chosen by the group must send an email by tomorrow the 10^th at 20.00, with the list of the students who contributed in a significant manner to the exercise.  Only those on the list will receive the Stratex grade. Significant remote contributions for justifiable reasons can also be included.

Representatives must also bring an USB pen with their group video file, as a back up for the exam.

Presentations are a formal exam and a great opportunity of exchange among students: attendance and proper behavior are mandatory.

Between the Test and the presentations we will have a short break.

Here follow the test instrucions:

Dear students,

as anticipated, I have loaded on Materiale Didattico the Final Work Assignment. You can start working on it, since the lesson phase is over. You could anyway benefit from the STRATEX to improve it, so plan as you see fit.

As mentioned, on your first group session you will have to appoint two Group Representatives. They will be the main speakers for the group and will have to certify on behalf of their group the actual contribution of the members to the STRATEX.

They will also make sure that the special STRATEX attendance roster is filled at the beginning of each session. 

See you on the 25th in Aula Magna and on the 26th in T2.

Have a nice week end

Fernando Giancotti

Dear students,

as announced in class, you can find on DIDA your STRATEX material on AI. We will address exercise issues.

Be ready to ask questions about the whole thing.

See you tomorrow! ; )

Fernando Giancotti

Dear students,

as anticipated in class, you are requested to read the STRATEX Exercise Guidance that I have uploaded on DIDA, to be able to relate our next classes to what you will be doing for the STRATEX.

See you tomorrow!

Fernando Giancotti

Andrea Mastrorilli

Dear students,

we are about to start our journey in the mysterious realm of Strategic Leadership, the one that is badly needed for a Global Governance.            Complexity and Chaos will accompany us to broaden our mind, while they challenge us in our uncertain and dangerous world. This is your unique chance to enter this arena so early in life, to keep growing fast toward an understanding for impact in the complex matters that you will have to face, sooner rather than later. And very soon we'll go into our adventurous Stratex 24, where you will together walk the talk we have been doing. Get your enthusiasm up, we will have fun. But you will be challenged, so be ready for it. To start with, read your assignments and consult you reference material for each class: you will understand and therefore work better and you will have an edge in your exams.

Here follow the assignments for the above mentioned classes.

Have fun and see you on Friday!

Fernando Giancotti

Dear students,

our course is rolling and in about a month you will have your first evaluation. Read the syllabus about how the course is evaluated. On the 10th of April, from 09.00 to 12.00, you will have two exams. The first one will be a multiple choice test on all course material: textbook, slides, handouts etc.. Basically all course content you can find in MATERIALE DIDATTICO on DIDA. The test is tough, so you really need to read well and know your stuff. The second exam will be the projection of the Stratex video of all 10 groups. It will be a way to share the diverse team experiences. The video will be evaluated in class and the grade will be weighed together with the one of the final Stratex document.

On the 24th of April, after two weeks, you will have to submit the Final Work: a short paper and a personal video. Detailed instructions will follow. 

Before the end of May you will receive your grades. 

Exams are in presence, so do not plan to be absent.

For general questions about GIL course examinations, you can go through your GG representatives. For private or personal issues, you can write to globalgovernancegil@gmail.com .

See you soon and have fun!

Fernando Giancotti

Dear students,

we are about to start our amazing journey in the misterious realm of the collective action and its cathalizer, leadership. I should send you instructions and material about the course, but I cannot do that because half of the GG1's are not enrolled on DIDA. You reading this are ok, of course, and I ask you to prompt your fellow students to do it by tomorrow, so that we can benefit from our digital support and you will glide smoothly through the course, not without some hard work and, I hope, good fun!

See you tomorrow!

Fernando Giancotti and Andrea Mastrorilli
