Information

Examination topics

The exam questions are based on the lectures themselves and on the Moodle (pdf) versions of the powerpoint presentations (or the downloads made available). Guest lectures may or may not be available on Moodle but a related question can be part of the exam.

Assessment and permitted materials

A written exam (text in German) is held at the end of the semester consisting of multiple-choice (single-choice) and true/false questions as well as several written questions (short answers sufficient and preferred, in English if that is easier for you). At least one additional exam will be held the following summer semester.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

This course is designed to give students an introduction into the issues of nature conservation and species protection. An important aspect is to distinguish between what is on paper (the "law") and what the situation is on site. Students get an insight into what they can expect (the rewards but also the hardships and frustration) when they volunteer for nature conservation work or focus their studies on nature conservation. They will also receive the background framework for such work, emphasizing that legal regulations and international agreements are in place (at least in principle) to justify and enable species protection and nature conservation measures.
