Students will be evaluated for their interactions during the lessons. The powerpoint handouts will be made available via TOLEDO.
Assignment: students will be asked to work-out an extended assignment in which the student applies sustainability principles on a self-chosen agricultural herd. He also motivates his choices.

Distance education students preferably participate in the lessons. If this is not possible, they make an abstract per lesson in which the susceptibility focus of each lesson will be made clear. In addition, some comments and questions need to be formulated per lesson. Distance education students also need to make the same assignment as the CAM students and make an oral presentation via a digital platform. More details on this additional assignment will be made available via TOLEDO.
Information about retaking exams
Participation during the lessons is only possible during the first exam chance. Lessons will not be repeated. Students who do not pass during the first exam chance, may ameliorate their assignment and give a new oral presentation. In addition, they may make an extra assignment, in analogy with distance education students (make a summary of each lecture and write down the essence of the guest speaker’s vision on sustainability). More details on this extra assignment will be offered through Toledo.
For distance education students, the same second chance opportunities are offered as for CAM-students.
