Content
The objective of the terrestrial ecology internship is to develop an experimental methodology in the field based on a hypothesis put forward by the students themselves.
In one week, in groups, students develop a protocol to test their hypothesis, collect data, analyze it and produce a synthesis in the form of an oral presentation. The subjects potentially address all fields of ecology with an evolutionary approach.
Teaching methods
One week field course with overnight stays.
Evaluation methods
Presentation of a synthesis work.
The evaluation will focus on the group work, the methodology used, the quality of the hypotheses, the data collection, the analysis of the results and their discussion.
Other information
A financial contribution is requested for catering and accommodation costs. In case of financial difficulty, students are invited to contact the UCLouvain social services and the President of the School of Biology, in complete confidentiality.
