Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The primary aims of the seminar consist in (i) the consolidation, (ii) the ability to combine and (iii) the ability to evaluate the societal relevance of the knowledge obtained through the introductory lectures in Physical geography, (iv) learning how to scrutinize statements, (v) internalizing the clear distinction between description and interpretation, and (vi) refining the participants' skills in scientific presentation and writing. In this sense, participants will elaborate on selected topics, solitary or in groups. Thereby a broad spectrum of interdisciplinary, applied problems will be employed in order to foster systemic and integrative ways of thinking. Learning methods are in particular:
(1) Analysis of scientific publications
(2) Writing of a seminar essay
Course languages are German and English. Active and passive oral and writing skills in both languages are expected from all participants.

NOTE:
This course is held as Webinar through BigBlueButton. Hereby, BBB has to be started via the moodle platform.
