Effect 2:understands at the advanced level the most important problems in the field of plant physiology, which allows to understand basic natural phenomena and processes and knows their relationships.
Effect 3: has knowledge of the most important issues of plant physiology; and development and masters the linkage of them with other life science disciplines;
Effect 4: has knowledge of major techniques and methods commonly used in current plant physiology;
Effect 5: has knowledge of basic terms and rules related to biotechnological developments and GMOs.
Subject learning outcomes in terms of skills:
Subject effect 6: applies basic techniques and research tools used in plant physiology, carry out observations and physical, biological and chemical measurements in the field or laboratory;
Subject effect 7: understands the literature on plant physiology in Polish; reads simple texts with understanding scientific in English; properly choose scientific literature;
Subject effect 8: plans scientific experiments and the necessary work to carry them out, collaborates in a group during conducted experiments
Objective effect 9: is able to independently plan and carry out simple experiments in the scope discussed during lectures.
Learning outcomes in terms of social competences:
Subject effect 10: the student is able to critically analyze the obtained results, is open to research problems and questions, systematically deepens knowledge and is able to use it in practice;
Subject effect 11. the student is responsible for the safety of their own and others' work; knows how to act in emergency;

Knowledge :
- note 2 (insufficient) student does not understand basic biological processes driven by plants. Does not have basic knowledge of the most important issues in plant physiology and cannot make the link with different disciplines, such as biochemistry or cytology. Does not have knowledge of neither major terms nor materials and methods of R&D applied in plant physiology; does not know the rules of copyright related to the creation of new varieties and genetically modified organisms.
- note 3 (sufficient) understands the general overview of basic biological processes driven by plants. Has basic knowledge of major issues of plant physiology and their connections to other disciplines, such as biochemistry or cytology. Knows and understands major terms used in plant physiology and knows major techniques applied in R&D in plant physiology field; has basic knowledge of the rules of copyright related to the creation of new varieties and genetically modified organisms.
- note 4 (good) fully understands major biological processes driven by plants. Has knowledge of the most important issues of plant physiology and their connections to other disciplines, such as biochemistry or cytology. Knows and understands terms used in plant physiology and knows major techniques applied in R&D in plant physiology field; knows the rules of copyright related to the creation of new varieties and genetically modified organisms.
-note 5 (very good) student fully understands major biological processes driven by plants. Has extensive knowledge of the most important issues of plant physiology and can easily make connections to other disciplines, such as biochemistry or cytology. Knows and understands all the terms used in plant physiology and knows common techniques applied in R&D in plant physiology field; Knows very well the rules of copyright related to the creation of new varieties and genetically modified organisms.

Evaluation method: written exam. Knowledge of issues provided during the course lectures and practicals. Exam only for students with positive grade from laboratory part.
Laboratory part: The grade is based on results of short entry test and the two tests in the middle and at the end of classes.
