Lectures and exercises in which students may apply the theoretical knowledge acquired.
During the lessons, useful situations will be proposed to stimulate the students' abilities to develop a critical judgment, to seek information using scientific sources to increase their problem solving skills. During the lectures, power-point presentations and websites will be used to highlight the main characteristics of the taxa studied, their evolution and responses to ecological pressures. Specific readings and general knowledge will be offered to encourage the acquisition of specific skills and the ability of students to interact with an audience with heterogeneous training.
