Why?

The learning object is addressed to undergraduate and graduate students of the Tallinn University of Technology and of other European Universities. The aim of the learning object is to explain the new forms of governance in the EU. The learning object forms part of the course "Accountability and Review of EU Institutions".

Assessment

• Method of assessment:
Self-control exercises that hopefully increase more motivated learning will not be graded, but during the final exam will be graded the general understanding of the topic. Discussion of the relevant questions together with questions in other learning objects will form appr. 20% of the final grade.
