General information
Projects are not purely literary works, but have an empirical or experimental part. Current project topics (Intranet).
The examination regulations for the Bachelor's degree course in Organic Agriculture explicitly provide for the implementation of projects.
At least one project must be completed:
Interdisciplinary project in the main study program: this is an independent examination achievement and comprises 6 credits (i.e. 180h of work). It must be interdisciplinary in nature, i.e. it must be supervised by at least two lecturers from different subject areas and usually be completed as group work in order to enable a broader treatment of a topic and to practice key qualifications such as teamwork and communication (information on the choice of examiners).
Procedure
Support
Projects require intensive supervision. The topic, the number of participants, the structure, the schedule, a time limit and the expected number of pages must be clarified with the supervisors in advance. It must also be determined what work can be covered by the project work. It is advisable to conclude a joint agreement.
Presentation
Project work should generally be presented publicly as proof of achievement for a module or sub-module.
Project report
The written project report should deal with all essential aspects of the issue arising from the topic. As a rule, a maximum of 30 pages of text should suffice for 6 credits. The supervisor(s) will each receive a printed copy. In the case of group work, the report will indicate who has written which part in order to enable differentiated grading if necessary. The report is usually submitted no later than six months after the start of the project. If practical project activities last longer than four months, the report is usually submitted no later than two months after the end of the project activities.
