Skoglig naturvårdsbiologi

Information från kursledaren

Most welcome to the course in Forest Conservation Biology!

The course is a distance course, but with one mandatory physical meeting in Uppsala, 26 - 26 April!

The distance teaching consists of several types of acivities, including:

1) Literature seminars, discussions and exercises, where you meet teachers and fellow students online at a specified time, through Zoom.

2) Recorded lectures that you can follow when it suits you, but often there is also a scheduled follow-up discussion session

3) Assignments where you work independently or in small groups, and hand in before a given deadline.

Please note that some of the scheduled ("live") activites are mandatory!

If you have any questions regarding the course, please do not hesitate to contact me.
