Classes meet several times a week, and co-curricular excursions and events are integrated within the coursework to complement what you’re learning. Each four-week course is a full semester in content, so the pace is accelerated and the workload demanding. CIEE courses are designed to follow U.S. academic culture and standards. To avoid falling behind, students should not plan personal travel out of Rome when classes are in session.
Class Format
Courses taught at the CIEE Global Institute are for CIEE students. Teaching methods vary by course but generally include lectures, discussions, individual and group projects, as well as excursions in and around Rome. Classes are scheduled Monday-Friday and attendance is strictly enforced both for classes and required co-curricular excursions.
Grading
Students are graded based on a combination of participation, homework, written assignments, individual project work, presentations, and midterm/final examinations. Participation and punctuality in all classes weigh heavily in student evaluations.
