Information från kursledaren

2022-01-11
Welcome to the course page for BI1346
We hope you find the information you need to help you decide to join us learning about insect chemical ecology and its uses toward pest control.

Please feel free to contact sharon.hill@slu.se (concerning course content-related issues) and/or karoline.schua@slu.se (concerning course administrative issues) if you still have questions that are not answered here. Both the schedule and the literature list are preliminary, but you can expect that any changes will be minor.

The Canvas page will act as the main course page for information once the course starts. Looking forward to meeting with you to learn more about the Chemical Ecology for Sustainable Insect Pest Control.

Betygskriterier

Grading criteria for the course BI1346 Chemical Ecology for Sustainable Insect Pest Control

Grading scale

5: Pass with Distinction, 4: Pass with Credit, 3: Pass, U: Fail

The requirements for attaining different grades are described in the course assessment criteria which are contained in a supplement to the course syllabus. Current information on assessment criteria shall be made available at the start of the course.

Formats and requirements for examination

The evaluation consists of three written tests plus written and oral reporting of practical tasks and laboratory work. To pass the course, a passing grade in each of the tests as well as the assignment work is required, as is the approved participation in compulsory course components.

  • The tests are modular, in which =50% is a pass. A fail requires re-evaluation via test or substituted assignment (where appropriate).
  • 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.
  • If changes are made to this course syllabus, or if the course is closed, SLU shall decide on transitional rules for examination of students admitted under this syllabus but who have not yet passed the course.
  • For the examination of a degree project (independent project), the examiner may also allow the student to add supplemental information after the deadline. For more information on this, please refer to the regulations for education at Bachelor's and Master's level.

Laboratory activities (or substituted assignments, in the event that students are prohibited from attending campus in person) and literature seminars are compulsory components of the course.

Lectures are not compulsory, but as the majority of the testable information will be conveyed during these sessions, attendance is strongly encouraged.
