Course content
The botany practice has several goals: (a) the practicum serves as a complementary platform for project teaching, where, under the guidance of teachers, students work on several specific projects during the semester that develop and link theoretical courses with practical procedures for collecting, processing and evaluating data. (b) enables students to present the objectives, methodology and results of their master's work in a public way, while also allowing for a collective discussion of the relevant issues - at each stage the student will present an introductory, continuing and final lecture on his / her final thesis; (c) it is possible to link thematically specialized and distinct fields of study within botany, where students necessarily specialize in narrowly defined problems and can potentially fall into a "specialization whirl"; (d) Another objective is to bring and discuss news, new procedures or interesting and inspiring new knowledge from various botany specializations and related disciplines, for example by inviting an external specialist on the subject.

- students will be able to use acquired knowledge in courses A connected with practical skills in their application to specific problems in project teaching - students will be able to discuss the aims, methodology and results of the master's work in public - learn how to work well with a number of specialized devices, eg. use specific procedures applied in plant biosystematics and ecology for which there is not enough room for basic training in basic courses
