- LEARNING OUTCOMES
| Learning Outcomes | |
| Please describe the learning outcomes of the course: Knowledge, skills and abilities acquired after the successful completion of the course. | |
|
The aim of the course is to introduce students to the concepts of maximizing the economic result of forest industries, a goal which is achieved by developing different production processing processes for the full and integrated utilization of raw materials and the application of horizontal and vertical integration. of industrial production.
Upon successful completion of the course students will be able to:
• Resolve issues related to a. the conditions for the establishment of a sustainable and dynamic forest industry, b. the factors that influence the choice of the location of a forest industry, c. the implementation of those productive processing processes of the various categories of raw materials which ensure the maximization of the economic result, d. the factors that ensure the success of the production control programs, e. the functionality of the mechanical equipment of the forest industries. • Recognize the characteristics and problems of different categories of forest industries in Greece and Europe. • Apply the knowledge gained in the professional field. And those of the graduates who decide to work as scientific staff in forestry industries, the knowledge they will gain from this course will be very useful.

ANNEX OF THE COURSE OUTLINE
Alternative ways of examining a course in emergency situations
| Teacher (full name): | Michael Tsatiris |
| Contact details: | tsatiris@fmenr.duth.gr |
| Supervisors: (1) | |
| Evaluation methods: (2) | Oral distance examination through SKYPE FOR BUSINESS |
| Implementation Instructions: (3) | The examination will be held orally through SKYPE FOR BUSINESS on Friday 26-6-2020 from 18:00 to 22:00. The link will be sent to students via eclass exclusively to the institutional accounts of those who have registered for the course and have learned the terms of distance education.
Students will have to log in to the examination room through their institutional account, otherwise they will not be able to participate. They will also participate in the examination with a camera which they will have open during the examination. Before the start of the exam, students will show their identity to the camera, so that they can be identified. Each student should answer 4 questions. Each of the questions is scored with 2.5. |
- To be completed with YES or NO
- Note down the evaluation methods used by the teacher, e.g.
- written assignment or/and exercises
- written or oral examination with distance learning methods, provided that the integrity and reliability of the examination are ensured.
- In the Implementation Instructions section, the teacher notes down clear instructions to the students:
α) in case of written assignment and / or exercises: the deadline (e.g. the last week of the semester), the means of submitting them to the teacher, the grading system, the participation of the assignment in the final grade and every other detail that should be mentioned.
β) in case of oral examination with distance learning methods: the instructions for conducting the examination (e.g. in groups of X people), the way of pronouncing topics, the applications to be used, the necessary technical means for the implementation of the examination (microphone, camera, word processor, internet connection, communication platform), the way the hyperlink is sent, the duration of the exam, the grading system, the participation of the exam in the final grade, the ways in which the inviolability and reliability of the exam is ensured and every other detail that should be mentioned.
γ) in case of written examination with distance learning methods: the instructions for assigning the topics, the way of submitting the answers, the duration of the exam, the grading system, the participation of the exam in the final grade, the ways in which the integrity and reliability of the exam is ensured and every other detail that should be mentioned.
There should be an attached list with the Student Registration Numbers only of the beneficiaries to participate in the examination.
