| Course content |
|
Content of practicals: The main aim of practicals is microscopic determination of algae and cyanobacteria from all habitats (plankton, benthos, periphyton, aerophytic etc.).
|
| Learning activities and teaching methods |
Monitoring, Demonstration, Laboratory, Excursion
|
| Learning outcomes |
|
This course will serve as a workshop of algal and cyanobacterial species determination from various habitats and using of main types of hydrobiological indexes.
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. |
