- BIp001 Introduction to the Study of Biology
Basic knowledge about Chordate. - Course Enrolment Limitations
- The course is only offered to the students of the study fields the course is directly associated with.
- fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
- Natural Science for Education (programme PdF, B-PR3S) (2)
- 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. - Learning outcomes
- At the end of this course, students should be able to:
- to characterize of changes of body composition in taxon;
- to know bionomie of model species;
- to determine of common species vertebrates, its ecological use and relations on ecosystems; - Syllabus
