Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to equip students with key competencies that will enable them to plan and evaluate the experiments within their own research activities and to critically evaluate and communicate the obtained results.
Based on the quantitative analysis of available literature, the student should be able to independently plan his own experimental activities so that he can achieve results with the maximum informative value with a minimum of time and financial costs. They should be able to evaluate these results, put them in the context of the relevant field of science and communicate effectively with colleagues.
