Course objectives

At the end of the course students should be able to: understand physiology of plants and bacteria at very elementary level; understand most important methods of experimental measuring; measure data using particular techniques; summarize and interpret the measured data.

Learning outcomes

At the end of the course students should be able to:
- interpret basic aspects of physiology of plants and bacteria at elementary level;
- solve problem of parameter identification of a model with respect to experimental data;
- select and use a suitable tool for parameter identification;
- process a set of experimentally measured data for use in a suitable tool.
