- 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 purpose of this course is the acquisition of theoretical and practical knowledge by graduates to deal with issues and problems of harvesting wood and other forest products in the forest as well as to improve existing techniques. Also to adapt harvesting techniques to the principles of forest reusability sustainability and environmental protection requirements. As well as to guide and supervise the production of forest products so that they are shaped according to the use for which they are intended and the requirements of the market
Upon successful completion of the course the student will be able to: · solve the cost of a job which must be proportional to the working time of the media and staff for a given production. • to know the tools and machines of harvesting works used in Greece and in advanced forestry countries. • know and evaluate harvesting systems with economic, ecological and social criteria • to know the forest timber harvesters in Greece: State Forest Exploitation (KED), Auctions, PD 126/86, Lease. To suggest and / or choose the most appropriate – as the case may be – way. • to know the categories of forest products produced. • to know the ergonomic design of tools, machines, working methods that are friendly to humans |

ANNEX OF THE COURSE OUTLINE
Alternative ways of examining a course in emergency situations
| Teacher (full name): | Vasiliki Dimou |
| Contact details: | eclass, email |
| Supervisors: (1) | |
| Evaluation methods: (2) | Written and oral examination by remote methods, provided that the integrity and reliability of the examination is ensured |
| Implementation Instructions: (3) | The examination of the course will be carried out through eclass according to the examination program. Students who have institutional accounts, have registered for the course and have learned the terms of distance education can take part. Students after their composition in eclass will randomly receive, from a question pool, 20 questions that you must answer in 15 minutes. Each of the questions will be graded 0.5.
The oral examination in the course will be carried out in groups of 5 people according to the examination program and every half hour according to the order in which the names of the participants appear in the attached list (examination program). The examination will be carried out through SKYPE FOR BUSINESS. 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 take part 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 |
