If a student has been writing scientific reports before they can show samples of their work and answer questions to demonstrate their understanding of referencing, chapters, the use of tables and figures, introductions and conclusions.
The students can use the reports to demonstrate the skill in report writing when they apply for internships.
No exams. The assessment based on the work done in Moodle and reports produced. Students receive their grade at the end of the semester. They can upgrade this grade by showing the teachers a better report they have written during the following semester (specific deadline will be given).
International class. The principles of scientific reporting apply everywhere in the scientifc world.
Two hours of contact teaching each week and roughly three hours of individual work (information search, writing, watching videos). Note that the Soil Science report takes more time, it is part of the Soil Science course, too.
1) Period 1 Circular economy report completed. Layout of a report, in-text references, list of references, tables and graphs
2) Period 2 Soil Science report completed: Structure of a lab report, describing methods, research questions (integrated with the Soil Science course)
