Purpose and description of the content of education:
The module continues the activities carried out during BSc laboratory I. The student continues to have the opportunity to participate in laboratory activities according to his preferences and interests. He learns the principles of working in a biological laboratory, field, and culture or greenhouse. He improves his skills in preparing his workstation, material and equipment base and hones his skills in operating laboratory equipment and specialized measuring apparatus. He systematically acquires source materials, analyzes them and uses them to create his scientific text. The final result of the module is the submission for review and defence of a manuscript of an undergraduate thesis that is a confirmation of mastery of the techniques of writing and presenting scientific papers in the natural sciences.
