Methodologies Description
Introductory activities PRESENTATION: The course will be briefly presented during the first class. Contents, activities, schedules and grading will be explained in this session.
Guest lecture / keynote speech LECTURES (24) will consist mainly in oral sessions, where experiments, graphs and videos will be analysed. The slides used by the professor will be available through the Moodle platform.
Supervised projects ASSIGNMENTS: Students will be asked to prepare and defend a short presentation (5-10 minutes) in groups of 2-3 persons during classes. Drafts of the presentation will be discussed and improved together with the professor, in person or via email.
Seminar SEMINARS: An important part of the seminars will involve reading and discussion of primary scientific literature related to class contents. We will work also on subjects and methods related to class assignments. Students will be graded depending on their active participation and/or through short exams.
Research (Research project) PRACTICAL WORK: Practical work will involve the analysis of videos and material for introducing students to the methods for the observation and quantification of behaviour. Whenever possible, we will perform part of the practical work in outdoor facilities (ex. the Aquarium Finisterrae). Students will produce a final research report.
Short answer questions SHORT ANSWER EXAM: One final exam will be given. It will consist of 10 objective, short answer questions that will require detailed and precise responses.
Multiple-choice questions MULTIPLE CHOICE EXAM: During the semester we will have a multiple choice exam that will cover part of the classes.
