| Seminars |
Seminars will aim at a more personalized approach for the students to acquire complex concepts and tools in order to provide data analysis capacities that will be used in the experimental work
The contents of these seminars will be:
Seminar 1: experimental Design. Presentation of the experimental work.
Seminar 2: Data Analysis I: ANOVA in Ecology. Practical case.
Seminar 3: Data Analysis II. ANOVA. Anova in Ecology. Practical case.
Seminar 4: Analysis of data of the experimental work. Presentation of scientific results.
In the seminars 2, 3 and 4 will be necessary the utilisation of the statistical programs *R and *RStudio. |
| Laboratory practical |
The experimental work consists in the design, sampling, experimentation, sample processing, data analysis, preparation and discussion of results and, finally, presentation of these results by the students. They will, therefore, develop all the phases of an investigation.
The experimental work will be carried out in groups of 5 people advised by teachers. The results will be presented as a poster. The laboratory phase of the experimental work will proceed from 1st to 31st March and will last approximately one week.
Seminars will tackle the necessary practical contents for the preparation of the work.
The adequate organisation and development of the experimental work, requires to strictly respect the following recommendations:
1. Members of each group should belong to the same group of seminars.
2. Laboratory work should be by all members of the group.
3. All members of the group should be involved in the advisory sessions devoted to the design of the experiment as well as to the analysis and interpretation of results. |
