The aim of the course is to teach students the basic knowledge of morphology, anatomy and selected aspects of physiology of various groups of animals, as well as basic techniques and research methods used in zoology. The aim of the classes is for the students to acquire practical skills in the application of learned research techniques and methods of zoology, as well as the ability to search and select sources of knowledge in zoology, critically evaluate the information contained in these sources, and briefly present the knowledge learned

Lectures:

Knowledge

Subject effect 1 – the graduate knows and understands to an advanced degree selected facts, objects and complex relationships in zoology, understands basic biological phenomena and processes

Subject effect 2 – the graduate knows and understands to an advanced degree the basic conceptual categories and terminology of zoology and has knowledge of the development of zoology and the research methods used in this discipline

Classes:

Skills

Subject effect 3 – the graduate is able to apply basic zoological research techniques and tools, conduct observations and perform physical, zoological measurements in the field or laboratory

Subject effect 4 – the graduate is able to properly choose sources and information derived from these sources, understands literature in the field of zoology in Polish; reads and understands scientific texts in English, can briefly present the knowledge learned

Competences:

Subject effect 5 – the graduate is ready to critically assess his/her knowledge and received information, recognizing the importance of knowledge in solving scientific and applied problems in the field of zoology

Knowledge

grade 2 (unsatisfactory): the graduate does not know the basic terminology of zoology, does not understand biological processes

grade 3 (satisfactory): the graduate has limited knowledge of zoological terminology, limited knowledge of biological processes

grade 4 (good): the graduate knows the terminology of zoology, has a general knowledge of the evolution of animals, their anatomy and physiology. The student is aware of the current directions of advances in zoology

grade 5 (excellent): the graduate has a full knowledge of the terminology and scope of interest in zoology, knows how to analyze the relationship between animal anatomy and physiology, can assess the usefulness of scientific discoveries for the development of zoology
