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. The course is intended to be based on real-life case studies, multimedia examples and current events. Addendum 2. Recommendations for Students The course format mixes lectures, group discussion, and film/video presentations. Students should take notes, both on lectures and on the reading, and films, 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. We will be discussing contentious cultural and political issues relating to human rights in this course. 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.) 20
