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 cultivation plan and a crop rotation plan, which can be done either on the model farm or on the right farm.
The course includes a visit to the farm.

Exam schedules

The course exam (online exam exam) will be held in April 2021, 1st retest in May 2021 and 2nd retest in June 2021.
