Course objectives
At the end of the course students should be able to: (1) work in the field as team of students ; (2) interpret the results ascertained by means of combination of all used methods on all studied habitats; (3) submit all ascertained data well documented in their group final reports; (4) make presentation and eventualy also defence of a group final report; (5) identify all selected (by tutors) important representatives of vascular plants and invertebrate animals; (6) integrate theoretical knowledge from different branches of biology subjects already passed (esp. botany and zoology) with obsevations in the field.

Teaching methods
Field Work in Botany and Zoology is carried out as team work of groups under professional supervision of all seminar tutors - each group is concentrated on one selected habitat (wood, meadow, field, fishpond, stream, etc.); interpretations of results ascertained by means of combination of all used methods on all studied habitats will be documented in group final reports.
Assessment methods
Participation on the field practices; active attemp documented by group final reports; successful passing of examination - practical idetifying of vascular plants and invertebrate animals.
Language of instruction
