• Explain and apply security and conflict, then connect it to international institutions using course-appropriate evidence.
• Explain and apply international institutions, then connect it to international political economy using course-appropriate evidence.

Prerequisite readiness

political science, history, economics basics, source evaluation, and comparative reasoning Use a short ungraded check, repair the smallest missing skill, and immediately retest it in a course-level task.

Original worksheet prompts

3. Explain security and conflict and connect it to the course purpose.
4. Apply security and conflict to a new example; show a check and one limitation.
5. Explain international institutions and connect it to the course purpose.
6. Apply international institutions to a new example; show a check and one limitation.
7. Explain international political economy and connect it to the course purpose.
8. Apply international political economy to a new example; show a check and one limitation.

Self-review

Compare each response with instructor criteria. Correct the first unsupported move and retry one changed-condition prompt.

Reliable method

define actor and level, compare theoretical predictions, trace incentives and institutions, evaluate evidence, and state uncertainty Keep assumptions, intermediate reasoning, units, sources, tool use, and checks visible so another learner can follow the decision process.

Representative application

Analyze cooperation on a cross-border problem using interests, institutions, power, domestic constraints, and enforcement. Predict a reasonable result before working, compare the outcome with the prediction, and explain limitations or alternative interpretations.

Error recovery

Watch for using one theory as a complete explanation or treating states as unitary actors with fixed interests. Mark the first unsupported move, classify the cause, correct the reasoning, and schedule a fresh mixed recheck after a delay.

Accessibility, integrity, and safety

Use approved accommodations and accessible formats. Follow course rules for collaboration, citation, calculators, software, generative tools, laboratories, clinical settings, field activity, privacy, copyright, and human or animal subjects. Never use Exams.fit to obtain protected questions or bypass assessment rules.

Evidence to save

When permitted, preserve an international analysis with theory comparison, actors, evidence, causal pathway, and uncertainty with the prompt, first attempt, feedback, revision, verification, and reflection. Remove restricted assessment content and private or proprietary information.
