Education facts
Code: BIGC13
The theoretical component of the course is focused on the freshwater habitat and its organisms. Instruction is in the form of lectures and/or seminars where students are introduced to the theoretical basis and concepts of ecology at different levels, the interaction between organisms and the physical environment, aquatic sampling methods, analysis and processing. Also included is a project in which the students, on the basis of collected samples, develop skills in formulating simple hypotheses, testing them, and analysing the collected data statistically. This is documented in a written scientific report which is discussed together with research articles in a seminar.
