Bachelor in Aquaculture Management Study place Bodø Responsible faculty Faculty of Biosciences and Aquaculture Study programme director Rolv Kristiansen E-mail address [email protected] Language of instruction Norwegian Admission requirements The programme is specially made for persons who have obtained a certificate of completed apprenticeship in aquaculture. This means that the first year some subjects scarcely treated at high school is strengtenth before the 2. year when the students will join the ordinary "Aquaculture and management programme" together with students admitted by general competence for admission to higher education. Programme evaluation Students take an active part in the evaluation of the courses in the program through mid-term and final evaluation. It is also conducted dialogue meetings between students and study responsible every semester. Assessment methods Letter A-F except for EK205F Work placement which is passed/ not passed Costs Maximum NOK 2000.General description and profile of the programme This full-time programme includes lectures and various forms of exercises mainly in the laboratories. The last semester the student may choose between some optional subjects or take part in a work placement period abroad. Some handicaps may limit the laboratory exercises and field practical work.

Examen philosophicum - EX120E-2 ECTS Credits: 10 Level of course: Introductory Level Study start: Autumn 2011 Study place: Faculty responsible: Bodø Graduate School of Business Language of instruction: Norwegian Course responsible person: Tor Ivar Hanstad E-mail address: [email protected] Course evaluation: The students take an active part in the course evaluation. Students appoint a representative with special responsibility to ensure dialogue between the students and the course coordinator / lecturer, or the Head of Studies / administration, if necessary. In addition to this evaluation process, a final evaluation using an electronic questionnaire will be conducted. Course contents: An introduction to the history of thinking, with particular emphasis on the development of ontology, epistemology, ethics and politics will be given. The introduction is concentrated on a few key historical periods, especially ancient times, the scientific revolution and the enlightenment. The topics will be discussed in both a historical and systematic perspective. At the centre of the curriculum are thinkers such as Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Galileo, Descartes, Hobbes, Hume, Kant, Darwin and Popper. Learning outcomes: Examen Philosophicum will provide students with an introduction to the common frame of reference Western ideas and philosophy of history represents. The course also provides a basis for further study in various disciplines. Students should through work with curriculum develop theoretical knowledge, analytical skills and the ability of critical reflection on social issues in a historical perspective. Questions about scientific thinking and working methods are also central to the course. In other words, students familiarize themselves with the basic questions related to human cognition, and to moral and political practice. These main topics will through examples and discussions be linked to current social issues. Learning activities and teaching methods: The teaching consists of both lectures and seminars. At seminars, students are encouraged actively to participate in the discussions on the topics first presented in lectures. The seminars also function as exam preparation. Assessment methods and criteria: A 4- hour written exam.

Course contents: Basic general/inorganic chemistry, basic organic chemistry, selected topics of basic biochemistry. Offered as a free-standing course: All students. Lectures and exercises will be for all students together, but the laboratory course will be given to groups of students at a time, due to laboratory capacity. The course will be given in English for students at the International Bachelor in Biology, but will be given in Norwegian for other students. It might be necessary to give joint laboratory exercises, with teaching both in Norwegian and English. Prerequisites: None Recommended previous knowledge: None Learning activities and teaching methods: 3 x 3 class hours with combined lectures and solving of problems, 8 weeks.

Course evaluation: Mid-term oral evaluation with written report and electronic evaluation at the end of the semester. Course contents: One of the main goals with this course is to increase the ability to understand relevant material about aquaculture in English, and to become confident in using these expressions and the terminology in this context. This should provide for the ability to both make presentations and engage in conversations and discussions in English. The other main goal is to learn to translate and present Norwegian research material to an English speaking audience in different contexts. The ability to both make presentations and engage in conversations and discussions in English is central here also. Offered as a free-standing course: This course is designed especially for students accepted at the Bachelor in Aquaculture and Aquaculture Management with a certificate for completed apprenticeship in Aquaculture. Prerequisites: None Recommended previous knowledge: Basic knowledge of English for aquaculture from upper secondary school. Learning activities and teaching methods: There will be studying of texts, listening, group discussions and individual presentations for the class. There will also be focus on grammar, idioms and vocabulary, and the students are expected to reproduce texts related to the subject of aquaculture (orally and in writing) in the form of summaries. Students are expected to work in class and the contents of the portfolio will to a large extent be based on assignments that the students have worked on in class ( like a written summary of an oral presentation given by the teacher) Instruction will be given in English, though some of the written work may be translations into Norwegian. Assessment methods and criteria: In this course the students will be evaluated based on a portfolio with individual assignments that may also be orally presented. The portfolio is graded pass/fail. Assignments and deadlines will be announced on fronter throughout the semester. Recommended or required reading: Brunson, Martin W., and Bob Ratliff.
