We combine the teaching of theory in lectures, seminars and tutorials with the application of theory in forest based practical classes and weeklong field courses. The relaxed and informal atmosphere of seminars and tutorials encourages lively debate over current and contentious issues, and there are opportunities to discuss some of the same issues with forestry professionals during forest visits. Courses are assessed using a variety of methods involving coursework and examination. We make extensive use of the University’s ‘Blackboard’ virtual learning environment, which provides direct access to learning resources, course documents and lecture notes.
