in cooperation with Ing., MA. Jehan Verstappen, lecturer in applied biology at HAS Agricultural University of Applied Sciences in Venlo, a course in doing fieldwork in the conventional approach in biology (ethograms) as well as in the ethnographic approach in linguistic anthropology has been developed for 2nd year Applied Biology students.
