Coaching will be used as the main pedagogical method on this course. The course consists of varying weekly themes, which include: weekly reading materials and topic-related Tabula assignments, contact lessons where weekly themes are discussed, and a research project related to themes announced during the course.
Assessment of the course is based on weekly assignments (10 pcs, 60 %) and final report (40 %). In order to pass the course, all assignments have to be returned. There are deadlines for all assignments, if assignments are after the given deadlines, it will have an effect on the final grade.
Self-evaluation and group evaluation are mandatory parts of the course and shall be returned to teachers as instructed by the end of the course. In addition, all fieldwork exercises are a mandatory part of the course.

Evaluation focuses on the actual working in the project, and on its documentation. Evaluation is based on continuous observation during project work, individual and group reflection on the work, evaluation discussion in the end of the project and the client's feedback. Also the project plan and project report are used in evaluation.

Project can be evaluated as failed because of following reasons
- the coach has been responsible for all communication with the client
- project group has not had any documented meetings
- project group has not written a project plan and/or project report
- project group has not evaluated the process and outcome of the project
The group does not have clear rules, the work proceeds mostly due to the coach's or clients activity. Project leader does not take responsibility on leading. Time and work management, and control is inadequate.
Members of project group focus on their own sub-tasks, co-operation between group members and with the client, and utilization of the group members' special skills is inadequate. Work load is unevenly divided between the group members. Project outcome is incomplete, or group's and client's judgement of the outcome differs significantly.
Group agrees on the rules with the assistance of coach, and mainly follows the agreed rules during the project. Project leader takes responsibility on the progress of the project, and takes care that each member can participate in the project work.
Group members work according to the agreed rules and project leader's guidelines. They listen to each other's opinions and co-operate with the client. Project members' commitment to the project varies in different phases.
Project outcome is in accordance with the task description. Group and client have quite similar opinions on the quality of the project work and its outcomes.
Group self-directively and collectively agrees on the rules and takes care that all group members follow them during the project.
The project leader takes appropriate responsibility, takes the group members' skills into account and leads the project with smoothly. Project leader finds creative solutions to enhanche good working atmosphere. Time and work load allocation is systematical and balanced.
Each group member works for accomplishing the project aims in co-operation with group members. All group members participate actively in all phases of the project. Group members listen to and respect others' opinions and competences. Group members co-operate with the client and adjust plans according to feed-back.
Project proceeds according to the timetable or the timetable (and or the aims) is adjusted in co-operation with the client. The project group is able to evaluate realistically the quality of outcome with regard to the project aims and is able to reflect the project work process.

Exam at the end of the course.
Concept of water and wastewater management, sources of water, use of water, characteristics of water and their significance from environmental health point of view, unit operations used in water and wastewater treatment, drinking water production, wastewater treatment, alternative wastewater management options and future perspectives.
Student participated in the laboratory exercises and the exam. Overall the achieved competence is insufficient.
This means that
-some of the assignments were done acceptably
-the student is not familiar with the basic concepts discussed during the course
-can perform the laboratory measurements and experiments under supervision
-has no basic skills in reporting the results of the measurements and experiments
-seldom and inactive participation in the lectures
Student participated in the laboratory exercises and the exam. Overall the achieved competence is sufficient but narrow.
This means that
-some of the assignments were done acceptably

-can perform the laboratory measurements and experiments under supervision
-has basic skills in reporting the results of the measurements and experiments
-seldom and inactive participation in the lectures
Student participated in the laboratory exercises and the exam. Overall the achieved competence is structural.
This means that:
-most of the assignments were done and accepted
-exam shows that the student is familiar with the concepts discussed during the course and can apply them in most of the situations
-is fluent in the basic concepts and phenomena related to the subjects discussed during the course
-can solve model exercise and new exercises correctly
-can perform laboratory measurements and experiments independently
-the reporting of the laboratory results shows that the student attends to apply the theoretical knowledge in explaining the results
-student is clearly motivated and interested in the subjects discussed

This course is integrated with the following 1st-year courses
- Physics (mechanics report)
- Soil Science (insect report)
In order to be successful in all three courses it is very important to keep to the planned schedule.
Those students not attending Mechanics and Soil Science show their skill otherwise.
