Prerequisites
Skills to be acquired in this module
+ biological knowledge ++ knowledge of biological working methods + biologically relevant knowledge in the natural sciences and mathematics ++ statistics & scientific programming + abstract, logical, analytical thinking ++ deepened expertise in biological specialist field ++ independent learning and (research-based) working ++ data presentation and evidence-based discussion (written and spoken) ++ teamwork ++ (scientific) communication skills ++ project and time management[/nop] Following the theoretical fundamentals of previous studies, students are to apply the scientific approaches imparted by teachers to practical hypothesis-based field studies in this module. The obtained results are documented in a laboratory course report. The cooperation of teachers from different fields enables also interdisciplinary approaches (e.g. botanical-zoological approach) to be followed.
Module contents
S: Biogeographical and ecological classification and characterization of a biome (e.g. Mediterranean area, humid tropics, boreal zone), group elaboration of scientific topics, presentation of results PR: Performing a free field research project, data analysis, preparing a paper
