Assessment method
Working group assignments for which three pairs of students (preferably a combinations of students from different scientific backgrounds) each perform a sub assignment. The whole working group will meet to discuss and integrate the various sub assignments and integrate these into a presentation. Presentations will be judged on content by teachers and other students during a mini symposium. Assessment is on team level.
Reading list
