Description
Lab 3 aims to train academic and professional skills. The skills that will be addressed in lab 3 are: communication, interdisciplinary skills, teamwork, project management and leadership, and reflection and learning skills.
Lab 3 also aims to bring about a deeper understanding of the content of the corresponding course ‘Case study Fukushima’ by explaining, discussing and practicing the course contents. Some meetings will be more social; they are focused on becoming acquainted with the (professional and academic) field of safety.
A portfolio will be used to monitor and assess the students’ skills development and study progress. Students will collect their academic and professional skills assignments, assessments and (self-)reflection reports in this portfolio. Students will regularly discuss and reflect on their progress with each other and their tutor.
