Catalogue data

AbstractStudents work in teams to develop an interdisciplinary research question on the basis of a current environmental topic. They research the literature necessary to answer it and create an overview of the scientific facts. On this basis, they then produce information material for a non-scientific audience in a selected media form.
Learning objectiveStudents are able to
- develop a question on a given interdisciplinary environmental topic by researching the current research literature and documenting it in a literature management program
- summarise the scientific facts relevant to a given question in a collaborative approach
- prepare and communicate scientific facts for a given question in a suitable form for a non-scientific audience
