Dear All,

Please remember that next week is the last week of classes and that you will have to present you project ιn class next Tuesday, 2 June.
Here is the relevant excerpt of the announcement I sent you on 5 May:

“As I announced in class, I have modified the project requirement since very few of you have regularly attended class and have actively participated in it. On the last day of class, Tuesday, 2 June, you will present individually, for a maximum of 15 minutes, a PPT presentation of the Foreign Policy priorities in the Black Sea for one of the following countries (Ukraine, Russia, Georgia, Turkey, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece). You cannot present the country you are from. I will ensure access to a classroom that provides for PPT projections. Apart from your presentation, you will need to send me email or message the PPT of your presentation.

Please remember that, as per the syllabus, the project presentation accounts for 50% of your total grade for the class. Your final exam (written) accounts for the other 50%.

Those that plan to make a project presentation, please inform me as soon as possible of your intention to do so.”

Next week we will continue the lecture on Russia and the Black Sea and start discussing about Turkey in the Black Sea.

On another note, class today (Tuesday, 5 May) will be held online beginning at 18:30. No one showed up for class last week while the week before that, only one of you showed up. This makes teaching extremely difficult. So class today is online.

Dear All,

Due to an unplanned medical appointment, we will have no class today (Tuesday, 3 March).

Consider this as a Reading Week where your assignment is to read the policy paper whose link is attached below in order to get a general assessment of the key security challenges in the Black Sea Region today and write your thoughts on paper so that we can discuss these in class next week.

Please note that the Syllabus for the course has been added since last week in the Documents section of this platform.

I look forward to hearing your insights next week.
