Teaching methods

This is a multimode implementation, so the emphasis is on independent study. In the learning environment, students study using video lectures, videos and written material. Contact classes are used for assignments and practical work in the course content. The student receives feedback on each completed assignment.

Employer connections

The course includes a visit to the farm.

Exam schedules

The course exam (online exam) will be held in December 2020, 1st retest in January 2021 and 2nd retest in February 2021.

Student workload

The course covers 162 hours of student work. 40 hours of this are devoted to contact teaching and visit to the farm, the rest being spent on independent study and the exam.
