LO-1 Defines the basic concepts of plant preparation techniques. PO-1 Have an advanced level of knowledge about the recent and best practices in Biology, deepen and expand their knowledge on the expert level, conduct and assess the analyses by employing statistical methods
Examination
LO-2 Discusses the classification of Fixation and Fixatives. PO-3 Make use of the knowledge they have in order to find a solution to problems by analyzing, comparing and questioning them and can carry out original research in the related field on their own
Examination
LO-3 Painting, paints, dyes classification, mechanisms of painting, paints and chemical properties, describes the production of plant tissue dye. PO-9 Transfer in a systematical way the latest developments in Biology and their field of study reinforcing with qualitative and quantitative data to the groups either concerned with the field or not by verbal, visual and written means
Examination
LO-4 Sectioning, staining, fixation, slide preparation techniques, evaluates permanent. PO-10 Monitor and supervise the social, scientific, cultural and ethical values in the process of collecting, interpreting, implementing and publishing the data related to the field of Biology and teach those values
