Methodologies Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech The lecturer will introduce all the basic concepts and ideas to the students using presentations and documents that will be available to them beforehand.
Seminar During the seminars, the student will autonomously analyse some of the contents of the course, using what they learnt during the lectures, as well as using the bibliography suggested by the lecturer. The work of the different students will be assessed and discussed by the group.
Laboratory practice The student will conduct macro- and microscopic descriptions of the Cryprogams available to him in the lab. They will have to complete a questionnaire that will be assessed by the lecturer. The students will also improve their identifications skills through the use of taxonomic keys, guides and floras.
Case study The student will write a report (in pdf) on the Cryptogam flora growing in two areas of their interest, one in or near the sea-shore (focused in marine algae) and another in a forest (focused in mosses, fungi and ferns). The student will have to collect specimens belonging to the different groups studied in the course, and they will have to prepare a Herbarium that will be assessed (together with the report) by the lecturer.
Field trip Two compulsory field trips (guided by the lecturers) will take place at the beginning of the term. The students will visit some areas of interest due to their Cryptogamic flora. During the field trips the lecturers will analyse with the students the different specimens found. The students will write a report (pdf) of the activities conducted in the field trips that will be assessed by the lecturers.
