Course objectives
The course extends the knowledge acquired in the master's study. The aim of the course is to deepen the knowledge and application of general principles of sampling for the needs of environmental assessment. The student will learn to prepare the individual steps of the testing program and develop a sampling plan so that the required objectives are met.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student will be able to understand the information obtained by sampling, know
- how credible the results are
- how can we check them
- how to detect low quality results and define the reason
