SYK2800B Parent-child Relationships and Adolescent Health Course description

The final assessment consists of two parts: 

• Individual practical oral exam outdoors demonstrating competence in sustainability education and place-based learning (30 minutes). The students are allocated a place outdoors and a topic from the curriculum one week before the exam. The students present an educational project related to the place and topic. The presentation takes place at the actual site and needs to involve a map to provide an overview over the activities proposed and the sites involved. This exam counts for 33% of the final grade. Language: English
• Individual written exam written during the semester and handed in digitally: an article on a chosen topic addressed in the course’s learning outcomes (3000 words, +/- 10%). This exam counts for 67% of the final grade. Language: English

The two grades are used to calculate the overall grade awarded for the course. The final certificate of 30 ECTS credits will be awarded on completion of the above-mentioned requirements and exams.
