Learning outcomes: After course completion in area of knowledge Student obtains general knowledge of the plant morphology and anatomy and their variability (as a sequence evolutionary development). He or she knows plant reproduction cycles and their development during the evolution process; understands the relations between cell structure o tissues and tissue functions; knows characteristic features of the main systematic groups of the Phytobionta kingdom. In area of skills: Studenat can recognize the most popular field weeds, meadow and cultivated plants, including harmful or poisoning ones. Thus he or she gains skilling for general assessment of the value of green forage selection. He or she is able to prepare microscopic slides and use microscope for biological observations. He or she is able to use a dichotomic key to determinate plant species.
Competences: Student is aware of his or her responsibility for the adequate selection and control of species composition connected with pastures and meadows.
Prerequisites: non

Assessment methods: Completion of the courseis based on the written tests connected with exercises and lectures (both are led separately). Assessment of knowledge for the lecture material is conducted after its completion. Final grade is the average of the credit ratings of lectures and exercises. If a student does not pass the lecture material for the first time, he or she has the right to repeat the test within the period prescribed by the teacher (no later than the end of the exam session).
