Social competences (attitudes): K1 - understands the need to upgrade their knowledge [BI_K01]; K2 - can interact in a group during field work and laboratory [BI_K02]; K3 - can select the priority tasks and analysis necessary for the test [BI_K03]; K4 - is aware of biodiversity in the world of living organisms and responsible for their existence in nature [BI_K04].
Competences:
Prerequisites: chemistry, biology
Course content: The course includes discussion of the existing analytical techniques in biological research and take into account the biotic components (plants and animals) and abiotic components (water, sediments, soil) environment. Within the classes are conducted fieldwork to collect research material originating from the environment, and laboratory classes in order to carry out analyzes of the samples taken.

Assessment methods: Completion of the course: students holding a valid credit Exercise pass a written test of the lectures (20 questions). Assessment takes 45 minutes. If the test is not included in the first term the student has the right again cautioned him orally or in writing within retake. Assessment Exercise: jedenpisemny test to assess (the last class), giving a report of exercises, the current rating (based on oral statements) progress in learning and activity. Attendance at the exercises is mandatory; student can have only one unexcused absence. In the absence excused student is required to pass the relevant part of the material. Assessment exercises based on the average ratings.
