6.1. Grading criteria
The detailed explanation of what student shall be able to present during the current, mid-term and final assessments in order to pass the course can be found in sections 6.2. “Grading rules” and 9 “Grading methods of student’s current progress and final attestation” of the present syllabus. Grading both for the current and final assessments shall be carried out according to the system where ≪0≫ is a minimal mark and ≪10≫ is a maximal grade.

6.2. Grading rules


(The detailed recommendations on grading methods for each form of assessment of student’s current progress can be found in the section 9 «Grading methods for assessment of student’s current progress and final attestation» of the present syllabus).


The teacher assesses student’s involvement into the class-room discussions over the issues raised in the compulsory readings for the DGs and his/her qualitative contribution to these discussions. Marks for the participation in the DGs are put into the lecturer’s work sheet. Accumulative marks (min – 0, max – 10) for the participation in the DGs are released at the end of the course (before the final assessment takes place) – Min-class.

The teacher assesses student’s self-study by means of short multiple choice tests (10 questions over compulsory readings for the DGs; 1 correct answer among 4-5 possible answers) that take place in the beginning of every class. Marks for the self-study are put into the lecturer’s work sheet. Accumulative marks (min – 0, max – 10) for the self-study are released at the end of the course (before the final assessment takes place) – Mself-study.


Accumulative mark is calculated as follows:

Maccumulative = 0,6 x Mprogress + 0,2 x Min-class + 0,2 x Mself-study

where Mprogress:



Mprogress = 0,4175 x Messays + 0,4175 x Mtest + 0,165 x Mhomework

All marks are approximated: in favor of the student.


Net mark for the course is calculated as follows:

Mnet = 0,65 x Maccumulative + 0,35 x Mexam

All marks are approximated: in favor of the student.


Grading and assessment rules do not allow retaking either any of the forms of the assessment of student’s current progress or forms of the in-class participation or self-study.

Note: Exam mark shall not block passing of the course. Therefore in case of failing the exam, the net mark is calculated according to the above mentioned formula.

Theme 7. Conclusions
(Lectures: 1 hour)
8. Teaching Methods.
This course represents a combination of classical lecturing and class-room discussions/seminars. The latter are expected to help students to go more into details while discussing the compulsory readings with the fellow students and the lecturer in a more interactive way.

The case-method of instruction will be an integral part of the course. Using specific issues, this system helps students to analyze real events and to combine their knowledge of political theory with practice. Comparative method aimed at examining similarities and dissimilarities between, for instance, different Russian foreign policy schools or between various geographic and functional dimensions of Russia’s international strategies. This course will also use a historical approach to demonstrate both the continuity and striking difference between the Soviet and post-Soviet Russian foreign policies.

Interactive teaching methods such as classroom simulations, gaming, policy workshops, and computer generated technology (especially Internet) will also contribute to the practical preparation given to the students.


9. Grading methods for current progress and final assessment.
9.1. Current progress assessment.

Essays:

The first essay is a review of one of the seminal works of one of the Russian foreign policy thinkers representing one of the IR paradigms. Word limit: 500-600.

The second essay should be on one of the regional or functional priorities of Russia’s foreign policy. Word limit: 800-1000.

In case of plagiarism the student gets “0” for the essay.



Homework. Students should make their homework systematically during the whole term. It should be presented in the discussion groups/seminars.

Class participation. Students’ attendance at class sessions is very important. Students’ comments in class are mostly welcome to make class sessions more interactive and efficient. It should be noted that the quality of students’ comments is more important than their quantity. Both students’ attendance and participation in class discussions will contribute to final grade-making. To monitor the students’ progress throughout the course short tests (in various forms) and quizzes on specific sections of the course are planned.

Mid-term test represents a written multiple choice test covering the first half of the course.
9.2. Final assessment.

The final exam takes a form of a written multiple choice test that covers the content of the entire course (duration is 1 hour 20 min). Total sum of the points that the student has got for the test is converted into percentages (100% are given when all the answers are correct). To mark the test, the following table for converting percentages into marks is used:
