Animal Husbandry I
Information from the course leader
Välkomna till kursen Animalieproduktion I (BI1313)
Kursen kommer ni att läsa parallellt med Djuhållningen Teknologi (TN0340) under höstterminen. Eftersom kurserna är integrerade i varandra har vi ett gemensamt schema som ni hittar på SLUNIK. Litteraturlistor för respektive kurs finns också på SLUNIK.
Schema och viktiga datum:
- Första delen (2/9 – 4/11): Schema finns på SLUNIK och uppdateras vid behov. OBS! Använd inte schemat på TimeEdit då det inte visar alla moment och ändringar.
- De första tre veckorna (2/9–23/9) läser ni Djurhållningens teknologi på heltid. Därefter fokuserar ni mer på Animalieproduktionen, med inslag av Djurhållningens teknologi vid lämpliga tillfällen. Ni kommer också att arbeta med ett projekt i Djurhållningens teknologi som redovisas under kursens sista vecka i januari.
- Vissa föreläsningar är gemensamma för båda kurserna och är färgkodade i schemat för att ni ska veta vilka som hör till vilken kurs.
Viktiga påminnelser:
- Glöm inte att registrera er på kurserna via Ladok senast den 2/9!
- Kurssidorna på Canvas öppnas senast den 2/9. Allt material kommer att fyllas på efterhand.
Kursstart:
- Måndagen den 2/9 kl. 13.00 träffas vi för kursstart i salen Articum 3 (Articum). Momentet är obligatoriskt för att vi ska veta vilka som tänker läsa kursen.
- Under perioden 2/9-23/9 kommer Djurhållningens teknologi att ha vissa lektioner tillsammans med en kurs i Uppsala. Dessa lektioner kommer att hållas via Zoom.
Vid eventuella frågor, kontakta oss via e-post.
Vi ses den 2:a september kl. 13.00 i Articum 3 för kursintroduktionen!
Med vänliga hälsningar,
Madeleine Magnusson (BI1313)
