EGREEN Project Number: 573927-EPP-1-2016-1-JO-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP Presentation of the collaborative glossary The area of Climate Change and Sustainability is a quite technical and multidisciplinar area. In order to minimize the difficulties that might arise from different interpretations of the same or similar words, and its use in different contexts, we have set up a collaborative Glossary. You can access it from anywhere in the course platform – You just need to press the logo Please take Your time to visit and explore the Glossary, before taking the quiz that closes this Section.

- 6. EGREEN Project Number: 573927-EPP-1-2016-1-JO-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP Self Assessment quiz Quizzes are a very importante part of the “Climate Change & Sustainability” Course – they give You some feedback how are You mastering the concepts and competences of the Course, but are also very useful for us, since they indicate in wich areas students might have more difficulties and, thus, need more explanations or help from us. As a general rule, prepare Your quizz in advance – choose a quiet place and try to avoid any interruption during the duration of the quizz. Please remember that, by the end of the quizz, You can review Your answers and try the quizz again, in the case You are aiming a better grade.
