Content
This lecture is organised to allow the students to understand how the communication in plant defense is organised, on one hand in the scientific field as well as for extension purposes. The students are invited to participate to seminars, colloquium and symposium on plant pathology, as well as to express themselves on different plant pathology-related topics. They are trained to participate actively to meetings, use their knowledge to understand the speakers and ask questions. They are also invited to present a seminar on a topic of their choice. Finally, part of the lecture is a trip abroad to organize an in-depth meeting of the students within the plant pathology field, to meet professionals, researchers and farmers active within the discipline. The idea of this trip is to trigger the interest of the students, his motivation as well as his critical thinking, within a stimulating yet different country-based approach.
Teaching methods
Participatory approaches leading to an active implication of the students, comprising also the autonomous organisation of parts of the lecture including the trip abroad. This approach requires an active presence of the students which have to learn how to become an active plant pathologist. When possible, language training is also part of the competences addressed through the lecture.
Evaluation methods
Students are evaluated on their active participation to the lecture, and based on a oral discussion where the student is asked to summarize and defend his view over current plant defense topics
