Teaching Methods
THE COURSE OF BIOLOGY AND BOTANY INCLUDES: LECTURES WITH THE SUPPORT OF MODERN TEACHING SUPPORTS SUCH AS PROJECTIONS BY MEANS OF MULTIMEDIA PRESENTATIONS WITH DEDICATED EDUCATIONAL FILMS;

THE UNIT OF BOTANY INCLUDES: LABORATORY PRACTICES WITH ADEQUATE EQUIPMENT SUCH AS QUALITY OPTICAL MICROSCOPES TO CONDUCT OBSERVATIONS IN AUTONOMY OF EUKARYOTE CELLS AND CELL ORGANELLES AS AMILO-LEUCOPLASTS, CHLOROPLASTS, NUCLEI AND VACUOLES, ANATOMICAL AND HISTOLOGICAL STRUCTURES OF HIGHER PLANT ORGANISMS.
Verification of learning
UNIT OF PRINCIPLES OF BIOLOGY:
TESTS DURING THE COURSE;
WRITTEN TEXT: 30 MULTIPLE CHOISE QUESTIONS (40 MINUTES, NO NEGATIVE MARKS) REGARDING THE MAIN LEARNING OUTCOMES. THE WRITTEN TEST (18/30) IS A PREREQUISITE FOR THE ORAL EXAMINATION

UNIT OF BOTANY:
LEARNING ISSUES ADDRESSED BY THE COURSE TO THE STUDENTS WILL BE VERIFIED BY: TEST ADMINISTERED WITH REGULAR CADENCE OR AT THE END OF EACH PROPOSED SPECIFIC LECTURE TOPIC HELD BY THE PROFESSOR IN CHARGED OF THE BIOLOGY COURSE; A FINAL WRITTEN TEST BY MEANS OF RESPONSES TO MULTIPLE QUESTIONS, SHORT AND SYNTHETIC RESPONSE DISCURSIVE AND WIDE RESPONSES RELATED TOPICS FROM THE COURSE OF BIOLOGY. ORAL QUESTIONS ON TOPICS RELATED TO LABORATORY EXERCISES IN THE FIELD OF PLANT ANATOMY AND HISTOLOGY.
