Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
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.
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.
Reading list
The literature for the marine part (sea turtles, cetaceans, coral reefs, "general introductory material") of this class (ca. 50 references) will be put on Moodle at the beginning of the semester. There is, however, no specific "class book" that serves as a basis for this course. A selection of relevant literature will be brought to the clasroom for perusal when the respective topics are treated.

Nadja Ziegler and I (Michael Stachowitsch) will be holding our lectures in person ("Präsenzlehre"). We are in HS 3, which our experience shows us is just big enough to hold the relatively large number of students that sign up for this class.
Michael Stachowitsch will be placing his PowerPoint lectures on Moodle as pdfs, Nadja Ziegler will either use Moodle or enable students to download her lectures after class.
The lecturers will make an effort to inform students about current and future projects and opportunities around the world and specialist courses held elsewhere.
