Bezug zu anderen Modulen:

This module gives a basis for advanced studies in environmental microbiology and soil sciences (e.g. modul 3102-420 Project in Soil Science, Molecular Soil Ecology 3102-450)

Teilnahme­vorraussetzungen:

Basics in microbiology, chemistry and biochemistry

Sprache:

englisch

ECTS:

6 credits

Angebotshäufigkeit:

jedes WS

Dauer des Moduls:

1 Semester

Studienleistung:

Presentation with discussion (40 %) and extended abstract (10 %)

Prüfungsleistung:

Written exam (50 %)

Prüfungsdauer:

90 Minuten

Arbeitsaufwand:

56 h presence + 104 h preparation at home + exam = 160 h workload

Fachkompetenzen:

After successfully completing the module, students generally have a better understanding for ecological systems and understand the role and function of microorganisms in different habitats in particular. Students can specify interactions of microorganisms and soils, plants as well as animals. In addition, they are familiar with different aspects of biotechnology and ecotoxicology of microorganisms and can outline the rapid development of new methods in environmental microbiology (e.g. metagenomics and proteomics).

Schlüsselkompetenzen:

While preparing and following up on lectures and while working on their seminar presentation including a written paper in the form of a review of a paper (extended abstract), students practice time management and enhance their self-reliance, organizational, cooperation and communication skills. They learn and practice both critical and analytical thinking and reading of scientific literature in the lecture and when preparing the seminar, while generally improving their ability of exploring a scientific subject. During preparation of the seminar, students improve their scientific articulateness, i.e. oral expression skills and presentation techniques. Students are prepared for compiling their own scientific work and for contributing to international conferences.

Anmerkungen:

The lecture starts at the 20th of October 2016 (8.30 a.m.)
