    Information

    Aims, contents and method of the course

    Aims:
    Students are familiar with botanical-morphological terminology and its application to describing and determining of seed plants. Students know the most important vascular plant species of the central European flora including their ecological position.

    Contents:
    Comparative morphology and systematics of seed plants and terminological tool box for their determination. 200 important species of the Central European Flora and their ecological position.

    Methods:
    Introductory lecture by the course leader; subsequently, students analyse the main objects using magnifying glases or stereo microscopes (including making scientific schematic drawings), in which endeavour they are supported by the course leaders

    Costs:
    ca. 50 Euro

    Assessment and permitted materials

    In total 80 points can be earned. These are distributed among four parts as follows:
    a) Drawings (in unit 1*): 4 points
    b) 12 short written tests (in units 2-13) 4 points each (3 of those can be used as void results that do not contribute to the final score, i.e., only 9 of these test contribute to the overall score): 36 points
    c) Determination and analysis of an unknown plant (i.e., one that has not been covered during the course) and tabular comparsion of families (in unit 14): 20 points
    d) oral final exam (on all topics covered during the course): 20 points
    Assessment starts on the first course day and finishes with the final oral exam. The first three assessments (a-c in the above list) are made during the course units, the fourth one (d in the above list) can be made the latest until the 20th September 2024.
