Dear Students,

I hope you are having a good Christmas break.

I have downloaded to the Fenix platform a PDF file (Wildlife_Management_Student_Assessments_2021.PDF) listing the student assessments for this year's Wildlife Management course.

All the best for 2022!

Schedule for Monday (13th of December) and Wednesday (15th of December) classes

11 Dezembro 2021, 17:13 • Miguel Miguel Nuno do Sacramento Monteiro Bugalho

Dear Students,

We will do the student oral presentations on Monday 13th of December and on Wednesday 15th of December.

Students will have 15 minutes (including time for questions) for their presentations. Students should e-mail me the PowerPoint (or other program used) file supporting their presentation not later than the presentation day.

Presentations will follow the same order as the order of the topics presented during the classes.

The first eight presentations will be on Monday and the remaining seven presentations will be on Wednesday. Below is the schedule for the next two classes.

We should aim for a lively and participative debate.

See you on Monday!

Miguel

Update of class material

28 Novembro 2021, 17:18 • Miguel Miguel Nuno do Sacramento Monteiro Bugalho

Dear students,

I have updated the slide classes and other information related to the Wildlife Management course. You have now access to the presentations on the conservation of the Iberian Wolf and on the conservation of the Iberian Lynx.

I have also included the slides related to a summary of the main topics addressed during the course.

Finally, for your guidance, I made available a sample of questions that came out in written assessments of previous years.

Good work and see you tomorrow!

Best,
Miguel Bugalho
