The student is able to:
- report on the cause-impact pathways for plastic pollution, climate change, habitat loss and fragmentation, and chemical pollution.
- explain the underlying scientific mechanisms that relate human pressures to environmental impact for plastic pollution, climate change, habitat loss and fragmentation, and chemical pollution.
- identify the most important uncertainties in analysing plastic pollution, climate change impacts, habitat loss and fragmentation, and chemical pollution.
- derive management strategies for plastic pollution, climate change impacts, habitat loss and fragmentation, and chemical pollution.
- work in a team-based learning environment.

The course Man and the Environment is open to students who have completed the first study year of Biology. Students who do not meet this requirement need to obtain a permit of admittance from the course coordinator, who decides if and under which conditions the candidate is admissible to the course. |

The course Man and the Environment is one of the Environmental Science courses within the Bachelor Biology education programme at the Faculty of Science, Radboud University Nijmegen (RU). The education concept of Team-based Learning is used as a basis in constructing the course. Team-Based Learning is an evidence-based collaborative learning teaching strategy that is taught in a three-step cycle: preparation, in-class readiness assurance testing, and application-focused exercise.
It is based on four underlying principles:
1.Teams are fixed for the whole course.
2.Students are accountable for their pre-learning and for working in teams.
3.Team assignments must promote both learning and team development.
4.Students must receive frequent and immediate feedback. |
