Objectives

The course is intended to provide students with insights into methods that can be used for working with problems and will provide training in planning, carrying out and reporting a project. It will also provide students with the opportunity to apply, deepen and broaden their knowledge from previous studies. Through collaboration with a business, students will gain a greater insight into relevant issues in the horticultural industry.
On completion of the course, students will be able to:
- describe some of the methods that can be used to work on issues and problems relevant for the horticultural industry
- plan, carry out and report a project and orally present their work in a form adapted to the target group
- work on new issues and discuss and assess alternative solutions using knowledge from previous studies, in combination with location, analysis and summation of information in the relevant area.

Content

Project methodology and communication tools for stakeholder participation are introduced in the form lectures, seminars and course literature. The majority of the course consists of independent work on student projects, individually or in groups with individual in-depth analyses. The project must be decided in consultation with the examiner and supervisor at SLU. The work will be carried out in collaboration with a host company and must result in a written report, which must also include a review of relevant scientific literature.

Formats and requirements for examination

The examination consists of written and oral presentation of the project. To pass the course, approved written and oral presentation of the project and approved participation in compulsory components is required.

• If the student fails a test, the examiner may give the student a supplementary assignment, provided this is possible and there is reason to do so.
• If the student has been granted special educational support because of a disability, the examiner has the right to offer the student an adapted test, or provide an alternative assessment.
