| 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 (E) (written and spoken) ++ project and time management ++ statistics & scientific programming The molecule aims at enabling students to apply theoretical knowledge to practical, hypothesis-based field studies within the scope of a seminar. The data derived from the individual projects performed are then to be documented and discussed in the form of a written laboratory course report oriented by a scientific publication and to be written in English. Several teachers cooperate to enable interdisciplinary approaches (e.g. botanical-zoological approaches). |
| Module contents | S: Biogeographic and ecological classification and characterization of a biome (e.g. Mediterranean region, moist tropics, boreal zone), independent identification and treatment of scientific questions, presentation of scientific results in a “mini symposium” subsequent to the field studies. E: Planning and performing a field study project, data analysis, written report in the form of a scientific publication |
