Flipped classroom_Diego Abalos
Description:
First year BSc course on Agromicrobiology. Combination of lectures and lab classes.
Intended Learning Outcomes:
- To understand the basics of how to quantify the emissions of greenhouse gas emissions from soils.
- To hypothesize about the effect of contrasting environmental conditions (e.g. drought, flooding, increased CO2 concentrations, etc.) on N2O emissions from agricultural soils
