DEVELOPMENT OF GENERAL AND SPECIFIC COMPETENCIES OF STUDENTS
Upon completion and passing the exam in this course, students will understand the extreme complexity and precision with which natural ecosystems function. They will acquire a basic knowledge of procedural planning and analysis of the effects of pollution on the environment and how to eliminate the resulting pollution or prevent further accumulation in the environment to achieve sustainable development of our planet.
CLASSES STUDENT COMMITMENTS AND THEIR PERFORMANCE
Regular attendance in the lectures. They write two exams during the semester. Laboratory exercises and field work, if organized, are mandatory and cannot be reimbursed. The results of the exercises will be entered in notebooks and all assignments must be solved positively. They submit a written seminar paper on the chosen topic and present it orally in front of the whole group.
CONDITIONS FOR OBTAINING SIGNATURES.
Completion of all laboratory exercises and fieldwork. Regular attendance at lectures. Written and presented seminar paper.
METHODS OF TEACHING
Lectures, laboratory exercises, seminars and field work.
TYPE OF EXAMINATION OF KNOWLEDGE AND EXAMINATION.
Two exams (following a specified set of materials ), which are considered passed if both are positively graded, and a written and oralexamination within the prescribed examination time limits.
