Course summary and feedback (Ottis, Priisalu, Blumbergs)

==Grade assignment==

30% - Performance at the tabletop exercises

30% - Written assignment (research paper, 2000-4000 words)

40% - Oral exam


==Tabletop Exercise (practice component)==

It's game time! In this part of the course we will learn about war games. We will discuss their importance and practical applications in the real world and see how those games are organized. We will not only talk about them, but we will try them out as well.

The goal of this is to analyse the importance of communication processes and to understand the need to test those processes using tabletop exercises. We will create different teams with different tasks that will fall into two main categories: Red teams and Blue teams.

To the blue teams we will show that you might not have the full understanding of the situation, not enough information and resources. 

To the red teams we will show that even though you might have a perfect plan, things will not go as you would want them to go.
