1 CIEE Global Institute Rio de Janeiro Course name: Contemporary Politics in Brazil Course number: POLI 3102 RDJO Programs offering course: Rio de Janeiro Open Campus (International Relations and Political Science Track) Language of instruction: English U.S. semester credits: 3 Contact hours: 45 Term: Spring 2019 Course Description How is it that the Party of the Brazilian Woman consists only of men? What is a physiological party? How to explain the election of Grumpy, a professional clown, to Brazil s national legislature? In this course students will survey the fascinating and at times tragicomic landscape of political organizations and practices in Brazil, while also gaining insight into Brazilian perspectives on the role of government in civil society. Students learn about current initiatives toward greater transparency and rule of law including the largest corruption investigation in Brazil's history and changing expectations about what constitutes good governance. Learning Objectives By the end of this course, students will be able to: Compare and contrast Brazilian politics and power structure with the United States or other nation with which the student has knowledge. Synthesize and discuss nuances of the racial and ethnic dimension of contemporary Brazilian society. Differentiate prevalent forms of corruption and political violence in contemporary Brazil. Compare and contrast the institutional design of the Brazilian political system with the United States. Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of Brazilian Federalism and correlate this with examples from Brazilian policies. Course Prerequisites Student should have completed an introductory level course in International Relations or Political Science before enrolling in this course. Methods of Instruction 1
2 The methodology will be characterized by lectures, presentations and class discussions based on the assigned readings. Lectures will be enhanced by PowerPoint presentations whenever these are helpful to explain international conflicts and controversies. The class debates will be prepared and conducted in such a way that they can serve as preparation for discussions and meetings with politicians, civil servants, NGO representatives as well as independent experts. Classroom activities will include individual, partner and group work and will be complemented by homework exercises. Assessment and Final Grade The final grade will be made up of the following components: Two response papers 20% Midterm Quiz 10% Midterm exam 20% FlipGrid Video Presentation 10% Group presentation in last session 20% Participation 20% Course Requirements Two Response Papers: Students write two short response papers (each 750 words min./max words) based on readings and information from out of class activities. Please type papers using 12-point font and double-spaced (Total credit for 2 papers = 20% of final grade). Midterm Quiz: The midterm quiz will be a 20 minutes in-class test based on the material covered by then. The focus is on assessing to what degree students active knowledge is improving. The quiz will include no more than 15 brief identification questions on the readings and three or less prompts for short answer/essay format questions. Midterm Exam: The midterm will be a take-home, open-book exam consisting of prompts, or questions that require synthesizing information and topics developed in the course. Take home means students will complete the exam outside of class, but without the help of any other person except the readings and notes (= open book ). Most answers to prompts will vary between one and four paragraphs, depending on the complexity of the question and answer. There will be between three and six prompts. FlipGrid: 2
3 Students will choose a topic for which they will prepare a short oral presentation of about 10 minutes uploaded to Canvas using the FlipGrid integrated app. Students must sign up for a topic by the end of Week 2. Student presentations will be assessed by their ability to demonstrate in the video a concise synthesis of the topic in terms relevant to the course curriculum and clear for all classmates new to the topic. Final Group Presentation: In small groups (ideally three per group), students will develop an in-class presentation that expands upon one of the topics discussed in class and compares it to the political system of the US. Presentations should be no more than 15 minutes in length. Participation Participation is valued as meaningful contribution in the digital and tangible classroom, utilizing the resources and materials presented to students as part of the course. Meaningful contribution requires students to be prepared in advance of each class session and to have regular attendance. Students must clearly demonstrate they have engaged with the materials as directed, for example, through classroom discussions, online discussion boards, peer-to-peer feedback (after presentations), interaction with guest speakers, and attentiveness on co-curricular and outside-of-classroom activities. Attendance Policy Regular class attendance is required throughout the program, and all unexcused absences will result in a lower participation grade for any affected CIEE course. Due to the intensive schedules for Open Campus and Short Term programs, unexcused absences that constitute more than 10% of the total course will result in a written warning. Students who transfer from one CIEE class to another during the add/drop period will not be considered absent from the first session(s) of their new class, provided they were marked present for the first session(s) of their original class. Otherwise, the absence(s) from the original class carry over to the new class and count against the grade in that class. For CIEE classes, excessively tardy (over 15 minutes late) students must be marked absent. Attendance policies also apply to any required co-curricular class excursion or event, as well as to Internship, Service Learning, or required field placement. Students 3
4 who miss class for personal travel, including unforeseen delays that arise as a result of personal travel, will be marked as absent and unexcused. No make-up or re-sit opportunity will be provided. Attendance policies also apply to any required class excursion, with the exception that some class excursions cannot accommodate any tardiness, and students risk being marked as absent if they fail to be present at the appointed time. Unexcused absences will lead to the following penalties: Percentage of Total Course Hours Missed Equivalent Number of Open Campus Semester classes Minimum Penalty Up to 10% 1 content classes, or up to 2 language classes Participation graded as per class requirements 10 20% 2 content classes, or 3-4 language classes Participation graded as per class requirements; written warning More than 20% 3 content classes, or 5 language classes Automatic course failure, and possible expulsion Weekly Schedule NOTE: this schedule is subject to change at the discretion of the instructor to take advantage of current experiential learning opportunities. 4
