Learning outcomes

Topics of the course Botany include general botany (plant cell structure, plant tissues, plant organs, general plant taxonomy) and systematic botany (groups of plants: grasses, cereals, clover, legumes, root crops, oil plants, medicinal plants, poisonous plants, and weeds). The lectures aim to summarize theoretical information about general and systematic botany. The aim of the practical lessons is the practical study of the microscopic structure of plant organs and to help students become familiar with plant representatives from individual groups of plants and the ability to recognize differences between similar plant representatives.
Theoretical knowledge The student: - understands the basics of general botany, - understands the general taxonomy of plants, - knows the characteristics of groups of useful plants (grasses, cereals, clovers, legumes, root crops and oil plants), - knows the characteristics of groups of wild plants (medicinal plants, poisonous plants, and weeds), - knows the taxonomy of plants from the groups of plants discussed in seminars. Practical skills The student: - can identify representatives of useful plants according to their anatomical and morphological features (grasses, cereals, clovers, legumes, root crops and oil plants), - can identify representatives of wild-growing plants according to their anatomical and morphological features (medicinal plants, poisonous plants, and weeds), - knows the taxonomy of individual plants studied in the course, understands the microscopic structure of plant organs, - is able to prepare native samples of plants for microscopic assessment, - is able to work in a group of students or individually. Competences The student: - is able to work effectively individually and in a team, - participates in the process of self-evaluation and evaluation within a group of colleagues, the aim of this assessment is to improve skills and knowledge, - is able to work in the laboratory and prepare native samples of plant organs for subsequent examination.
