Learning outcomes
|
Gain a solid overview of selected methods of studying freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems and their practical use. Acquire qualitative and quantitative methods in the collection of botanical material, material of aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates, soil fauna and vertebrates. Methods of processing the collected data.
Students master theoretically and practically the methods of research in individual sub-disciplines - floristics, geobotany, zoology of invertebrates, individual groups of vertebrates, hydrobiology. They are able to collect material by appropriate methods, process and evaluate it. Students are able to use trained procedures and master appropriate technical means, both in the field and in laboratory conditions. They are able to formulate a hypothesis and undertake an appropriate solution.

Prerequisites
|
Students are able to work independently in the field, but they have also mastered the principles of teamwork. They are equipped with the ability to formulate and present their own opinions and communicate them in their native language and in a world language. They are able to communicate information, ideas, identify problems and propose possible solutions without problems. They are able to critically evaluate their approach to a problem; they are able to defend their professional opinion using arguments they have acquired through study and practical experience in the field.

Assessment methods and criteria
|
Written examination, Combined exam
Knowledge of General Ecology, Botany, Zoology, Geology, Habitat Ecology. Students are able to use practiced procedures and master appropriate technical equipment, both in the field and in laboratory conditions. They are able to establish a hypothesis and undertake an appropriate solution. Students have the ability to approach their work responsibly and creatively. They are able to use relevant data from the literature and other reputable sources of information. They form their own judgement based on their own experience and recognised sources of information.
