Learning Objectives
Knowledge and understanding:
Teaching aims to make the student aware of the main characteristics of agrarian systems, including the diversity and importance of safeguarding genetic resources.
Judgment autonomy: favored by group discussions and drafting of written reports.
Communicative Skills: They are solicited by the individual exposure of the researches carried out.
Learning ability: stimulated by e-learning.
Prerequisites
Not required
Teaching Methods
Lectures and group discussions on specific topics
