Learning outcomes
1. Knowledge:
EK 1 - the student perceives the influence of civilization on nature, predicts and characterizes the effects of human interference on living and non-living nature; explains the causes and effects of physical, chemical and biological degradation of the environment, defining the effects of anthropogenic impact and summarizing its impact on biological biodiversity;
2. Skills:
EK 2 – the student plans and describes (in reports) field-literature projects on the anthropogenic impact on biodiversity (individually or in a team)
3. Competences:
EK3 - the student cares about the reliability and credibility of the report/presentation
Assessment criteria
Knowledge will be assessed based on a multimedia presentation on a randomly selected topic. The content will be assessed, i.e. the substantive level, the manner of presentation, i.e. the presentation of each student during the presentation, and the form, i.e. the way of preparing the presentation in PowerPoint. Regardless of individual assessments, the group as a whole will also be assessed. The group's assessment, relative to all presentations, will be able to increase or decrease the individual assessment by 0.5 degrees for each person in the group.
Skills will be assessed based on the report from the fieldwork. Its form and content will be assessed, with particular emphasis on creativity and knowledge in every dimension, including the assessment of the causes of observed differences
Significant activity during classes increases the grade for the presentation according to the formula: grade for the presentation + (0.125 x the number of classes in which the student was active). Absence and lateness to classes lower the final grade according to the rule: for the third and each subsequent absence, the final grade is lowered by 0.5 x the number of subsequent absences; each lateness to class more than 10 minutes = 0.5 absences
