Language of instruction: Polish
Learning outcomes: Knowledge: W1 – a student obtains general knowledge of the plant morphology and anatomy and their variability (as a sequence evolutionary development) [BH1_W01; R1A_W01]; W2 - he or she understands the relations between cell structure o tissues and tissue functions [BH1_W01; R1A_W01]; W3 - he or she knows plant reproduction cycles and their development during the evolution process [BH1_W01; R1A_W01]; W4 - he or she knows characteristic features of the main systematic groups of the Phytobionta kingdom [BH1_W01; R1A_W01]. Skills: U1 - he or she 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 [BH1_U11; R1A_U06]; U2 - he or she is able to prepare microscopic slides and use microscope for biological observations; U3 - he or she is able to use a dichotomic key to determinate plant species.
Competences: Personal and social competences (attitudes and behaviors): K1 - a student is aware of his or her responsibility for the adequate selection and control of species composition connected with pastures and meadows [BH1_K04; R1A_K03].
Prerequisites: Biology on the level of secondary school
