Oktatás célja

Introduction to Human Ecology is an interdisciplinary course that explores the complex interactions between humans and their environment. This course introduces students to the basic concepts and principles of human ecology, including population dynamics, ecosystem processes, and sustainability.

Tantárgy tartalma

Through a combination of lectures, discussions, readings, and case studies, students will gain a comprehensive understanding of the role of humans in shaping and being shaped by the natural environment. Students will explore the various factors that affect human behaviour and its impact on the environment, including social, economic, and political factors.

Számonkérés és értékelés

The course uses the "flipped classroom" methodology. This means that theoretical material is learned outside of class, and during class we work on the theoretical material through interactive tasks. Therefore, there will be "homework" for each class, consisting of reading a short text, watching a video, or listening to a podcast, which will take approximately 40-60 minutes. During classes, we will work in teams. Recommended grade: A recommended grade can be obtained through active class participation. Each instance is worth 10% of the total grade. Grade ranges: 60-70 average (3) 70-80 good (4) 90-100 (5) In connection with the homework assignment, there will be a test in each class, which must be completed in teams. The members of the team that completes the test best will receive 10 bonus points. Exams during the exam period: Those who have not obtained the recommended grade have the opportunity to take an oral exam during the exam period. The exam material consists of the "homework assignments" given during the semester.
