Zusatzinformation zum PrüfungsmodusExercises: Six exercises will support student learning and allow for an ongoing self-assessment in terms of the course's learning objectives. 5 out of 6 exercises need to be handed in during the semester as a compulsory prerequisite for participation in the case study.

Case study: During the second half of the semester, students will develop, implement, test, and interpret their own model for a selected biogeochemical case study in groups of two students. Students will present their project in written and oral form. A short presentation of the work will be given to a peer group for discussion and peer-to-peer evaluation. The students will then document their findings in a project report, which will include a description of their model and its scientific application, as well as a critical interpretation of the results and a discussion of the limitations of the model. The final course grade will be based on the written project report.
