Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course given by Prof. Mr. Dufrene is still split while waiting for two different courses for AP students and Agro and AgroEco students. The course is interactive with students taking charge of part of the material on the basis of a series of bibliographical references but the current health situation (COVID) will be taken into account to allow a virtual logic.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Face-to-face + practical exercises + communication project on ES for PAs and a study report on agricultural systems in transition for Agro and AgroEco (Prof. K. Maréchal).
Organisational adjustments related to the current health context
The inverted classes will probably be limited given the difficulties of working in groups and transformed into a virtual lecture.
Recommended or required readings
Will be given during the course.
