Facoltà di Economia

Dear students,

first of all I want to deeply apologize for the confusion on the Final Work Assignment. Due to a file swap and successive piecemail corrections, in the previous version there were contradictory instructions. 

Now you find on Materiale didattico le version 2.1, newly aligned. To minimize the nuisance to those who have started to work, you are allowed the choice of one of two titles indicated, and the lenght can be of one or two pages. In between is also accepted.

Take heed of the new instructions. 

Sorry for the inconvenience. Nevertheless, in complex dynamics errors often bring extra value (more flexibility, lenght, others...?) 

Enjoy your work!

FG

Dear students, 

due to a typo, in the attachment to the Final Work Assignment, there is an indication for a two-page paper, while in the front page is clearly indicated to proceed with ONE page. The Assignment has been amended.

Sorry for the mistake!

FG

To all students, 

in the Attachment B of the Final Work Assignment, under "due date", delete "24th of April 2024" and insert "28th fo April 2025".

Happy Easter  Holidays!

FG

Dear students,

here we are with the last exam of our course, which promotes reflection on the main take-aways of your group interaction and leadership experience in Global Governance and in our GIL course, and on "inventing your own future" as a person, a team member and a leader. As discussed, our exams have an educational, not only evaluational meaning : ) .

Make sure you read very well the instructions, word by word: understanding complex tasks is part of the strategic thinking training (missing or understanding a sentence can trigger Butterfly effects... ; )

You find your Final Work Assignment 2025 in Materiale Didattico. 

Waiting for your souls to fly high toward your future selves!

Fernando Giancotti & Andrea Mastrorilli

The sistem has sent to all an email with the credentials to login for the exam, which will be assigned in due time, not later than the start time. Now is critical that you check to have received the email, considering also the spam folder, where often the messages go. Please take note that the students who will not be in class ARE NOT AUTHORIZED to enter and perform the exam when it will be released, as for the instructions. If somebody did not receive the email with the credentials, let me know @ globalgovernancegil@gmail.com.

Several ask different questions about grading and exams, and I have aswered also in class more than once. Be sure and serene, we strive to be fair and rejoice of your success. Tomorrow before we start, I will anwer directly to all the questions, old and new.

Sleep well and see you tomorrow!

Dear students,

the Stratex is rolling and Monday the 7th of April you will have your first evaluation. Read the syllabus about how the course is evaluated. In a separate mail I will forward the instruction for the test of the 7th, from 14.00 to 18.00:  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 12 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 28th of April, after three weeks, you will have to submit the Final Work: a short written assignment and a personal video. Detailed instructions will follow. 

At 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,

following a request for clarification, we have slightly modified the wording of the syllabus in the Class Participation paragraph.

New version in Materiale Didattico.

We will talk about evaluation today.

In Materiale Didattico you also find the thesis of your fellow student on Social Identity Theories and Radicalization, requested by one on you.

See you soon!
