Description:
The module is the continuation of the activities aimed at the preparation and defense Master thesis. Student , after the verification of hitherto achievments effects can perform the complementary analyses, observations and measurements. A deep analysis of results is performed, the results are analyzed statistically and graphically, and the final version of presentation is prepared, including reports, tables, figures, maps, graphs, diagrams and photographs. Under the tutor’s supervision student learns to apply the source materials for the explanation of their own results (comparisons, discussions), synthesizes the information and concludes based on their own results and source materials. The final element of the module is the submission of substantially and formally correct master thesis, being the crucial condition to take a diploma exam.
Prerequisites:
Knowledge that enable the student to join the researches performer by the scientists of the Department/Institute. The ability to operate with advanced apparatuses and equipment of biotechnological laboratory. Good knowledge of the rules of statistical and graphical analyses of data. The ability to use text and graphic editors and spreadsheets. Knowledge of English, fluent enough to cope with the subject.
