Course objectives
At the end of this course, students should be able to: (1) understand and explain the basic picture about vertebrates body organization; (2) characteristic of chordate taxons; (3) identify to common Czech chordates; (4) use observational methods for chordates; (5) know use observational methods in nature conditions too; (6) complete the competence of determinate important species in CR; (7) apply these skills in the preparation of a chordate collection.
