Assessment Strategy

-threshold -- show a basic ability to classify and describe agroforestry practices based upon their components and their various spatial and/or temporal arrangements. - be able to evaluate some key agro-ecological and social-ecological interactions in agroforestry systems. - be able to somewhat demonstrate and justify how agroforestry practices can contribute to ecosystem service provision at multiple scales of analysis. - be able to somewhat interpret the scope and limitations of agroforestry practices taking into account local ecological and socio-economic conditions and use these to design an agroforestry case using options-by-context. -good -- show a strong ability to classify and describe agroforestry practices based upon their components and their various spatial and/or temporal arrangements. - be able to evaluate most key agro-ecological and social-ecological interactions in agroforestry systems. - be able to mostly demonstrate and justify how agroforestry practices can contribute to ecosystem service provision at multiple scales of analysis. - be able to interpret the scope and limitations of agroforestry practices well taking into account local ecological and socio-economic conditions and use these to design an agroforestry case using options-by-context. -excellent -- show an excellent ability to classify and describe agroforestry practices based upon their components and their various spatial and temporal arrangements. - be able to evaluate all key agro-ecological and social-ecological interactions in agroforestry systems. - be able to to fully demonstrate and justify how agroforestry practices can contribute to ecosystem service provision at multiple scales of analysis. - be able to interpret the scope and limitations of agroforestry practices excellently taking into account local ecological and socio-economic conditions and use these to design an agroforestry case using options-by-context.

Learning Outcomes

• Students are able to classify and describe agroforestry practices based upon their components and their various spatial and temporal arrangements.

• Students are able to demonstrate and justify how agroforestry practices can contribute to ecosystem service provision at multiple scales of analysis.

• Students are able to evaluate the key agro-ecological and social-ecological interactions in agroforestry systems.

• Students are able to interpret the scope and limitations of agroforestry practices taking into account local ecological and socio-economic conditions and use these to design an agroforestry case using a options-by-context approach.
