| Prerequisites | |
| Skills to be acquired in this module | ++ deepened biological expertise ++ deepened knowledge of biological working methods ++ data analysis skills + interdisciplinary thinking ++ critical and analytical thinking ++ independent searching and knowledge of scientific literature ++ ability to perform independent biological research + data presentation and discussion in German and English (written and spoken) ++ project and time management ++ statistics & scientific programming Part I (lecture): Understanding the scale-dependence of spatial and temporal ecological processes Part II (seminar): Treatment of special subjects of the functional ecology of plants yields insight into current research fields. Part III: Project assignments will introduce students to scientific work by independent planning, performance, assessment and presentation. Skills in optical and oral presentation of own and other scientists’ research results are practised in seminar papers related to Parts II and III. |
