| ACADEMIC CONTENT | |
| Overall objective |
This course will enable the students to understand and analyze environmental management with special focus on EU and Denmark, including the role science have in informing decision making. The course will furthermore provide students with sufficient tools and understanding to actively include management analyses in their future work. |
| Detailed description of content |
The course concerns the management of ecosystems, habitats and species of special interest (e.g. rare, sensitive or endangered habitats and endemic, endangered or invasive species). The course introduces relevant international and national legal frameworks for environmental management and protection and covers aspects of environmental management such as the interaction between planning, effort needs, monitoring and management as well as the scientific foundation for the management. The students will be introduced to methods and tools relevant for the implementation and enforcement within environmental management and protection. |
| Course material and Reading list |
Pensum and reading material will be announced on Moodle ahead of the course. |
| Overall plan and expected work effort |
The course is a 5 ETCS credit course, corresponding to an expected student work load of ca. 135 hours.
We expect thus that students will spend about at least 3-4 hours on preparation for a 2-hour lecture. The course consists of 22 lectures/exercises, each 2*45 minutes (three of the lectures are optional and will only be used if some subjects require extra attention and/or if we have had to cancel previous lectures). |
| Format |
|
| Evaluation and feedback |
The course includes formative evaluation based on dialogue between the students and the teacher(s). Students are expected to provide constructive critique, feedback and viewpoints during the course if it is needed for the course to have better quality. Every other year at the end of the course, there will also be an evaluation through a questionnaire in SurveyXact. The Study Board will handle all evaluations along with any comments from the course responsible teacher. Furthermore, students can, in accordance with RUCs ‘feel free to state your views’ strategy through their representatives at the study board, send evaluations, comments or insights form the course to the study board during or after the course. |
| Programme |
This course starts by introducing the most relevant environmental management systems, mainly related to a Danish and European context. Each of the management systems will then be addressed more in detail in series of lectures where scientific foundation, policy measures and practical implementation is addressed. Program will be available on moodle prior to the start of the course |
