| Kursusindhold |
This is a flex course and the particular topic varies between years. The course consists of three parts (preparation, teaching, report) with each part of the course correponding to a duration of 1 week. During the first week the participants prepare themselves for the course by reading selected texts (textbook material, journal papers), by carrying out exercises provided by the teachers and making short notes/reports on selected topics provided by the teachers (e.g. summarizing environmental fate and ecotoxicology of particular pollutants to be treated in detail at the course). During the second week of the course the participants gets together at a convention centre, field station, or at a university campus. During this week experts within the course topic from academia and industry are lecturing providing up-to date knowledge, cases and reviews. Usually lectures will take place in the morning, while afternoons are reserved for exercises (theoretical exercises, in some cases laboratory exercises). During this 2nd week the participants choose a project topic and the project work is initiated. The participants may be asked to present selected material prepared during the first week and part of their project work in front of the class during the second week. Project work continues during afternoons and nights; in addition late lectures may be offered. Course participants may be asked to carry out exercises or short reports to be evaluated during the second week. An afternoon excursion may be included in the program.
After the week of intense teaching, the course participants continue work on their project and a project report is submitted usually within two months from the start of the course. The report is evaluated and graded |
