| Learning outcomes |
|
The student will learn to determine cyanobacteria and algae at the species level. The course is organized as a joint course with the Faculty of Science of Charles University and Masaryk University, in 2024 in Sloup, Czech Republic, from 17 to 21 June.
After successful finishing of the course, the student is able to independently use algal and cyanobacterial identification keys in practical work. |
| Prerequisites |
|
Basic knowledge of cyanobacteria and algae.
KBO/134 ----- or ----- KBO/911 |
| Assessment methods and criteria |
|
Oral examination, Interim evaluation
Credits: The basic requirement is active participation in the field work - self-sampling of algae and cyanobacteria during all field excursions. Another requirement is the presence on the microscopy session, in which course teachers demonstrate the determination of the species. At the end of the course, the student, under the supervision of the teacher, independently performs the determination of the species that have been demonstrated during the course. The difficulty is individually adapted to the level of study of the participants. |
