Student assessment

 

This section provides suggestions for post-class assignments for the purpose of assessing student understanding of the Module. Suggestions for pre-class or in-class assignments are provided in the Exercises section.

Assign small groups to give a five-slide presentation (25 words per slide) on the PoA, ATT, Firearms Protocol and the ITI. Each presentation should be ten minutes and describe the mandate/objective of each, its principle requirements for State action, and three questions the group has that have not been answered in the three-hour class.
