Teaching experience

I have accumulated extensive teaching experience lecturing and assistant teaching for undergraduate level modules at the School of Politics and International Relations (UCD).

As a teaching assistant, I prepare and hold 50-minute long tutorial sessions for groups of 15-20 students (including the preparation of teaching material and design of group exercises), I grade midterm essays and final exams and hold regular office hours.

As of this year, I am also a lecturer for a third- to fourth-year undergraduate module on EU Foreign Policy.

Lecturing

EU Foreign Policy: understanding how the European Union and its member states engage with the world (Fall 2022). This is a third- fourth-year undergraduate course (40 students) offered by UCD’s School of Politics and International Relations. I autonomously prepared the syllabus, designed lecture/seminar activities, and graded the assessments. You can find a copy of the syllabus below.
