PRACTICAL SESSIONS
Seminar 1. Introductin and organization of the practical sessions: objectives, study site and sampling methods.
Seminar 2. Identification of common plant species in the study site.
Field work in Sierra Sur de Jaén.
Computer session 1. Analysis of alpha diversity.
Computer session 2. Analysis of beta and gamma diversity.
Seminar 3.Results and conclusions of the biodiversity analyses .
Workshop 1. Preparing a biodiversity report using real field work data: Introduction and Methods.
Computer session 3. Analysis of alpha diversity.
Computer session 4. Analysis of beta and gamma diversity.
Workshop 2. Oral presentation of the results.
General classroom sessions (2.5 ECTS*).- Contents oriented to the general theoretical principles of the subject. All the supplementary materials used in these sessions (e.g. Power Point presentations and research articles) will be made available through the web page of the subject.
Other activities (1.5 ECTS). There will be two workshops (0.75 ECTS each) where the students will concentrate exclusively in conducting their study cases with the assistance of the teacher. This allows the possibility that students comment and discuss in common the problems and solutions they find while addressing the different steps of their work.
Practical sessions (2 ECTS) will consist in three hands-on seminars, one field work session and four computer sessions. Through these sessions the students will develop their own habitat suitability model and will deliver their results in written format and in an oral presentation.
Students with special educational needs should contact the Student Attention Service (Servicio de Atención y Ayudas al Estudiante) in order to receive the appropriate academic support
The theoretical contents will be evaluated through a written exam, representing 70% of the global evaluation. The remaining 30% will depend on the quality of the outputs (written and oral) presented from the practical sessions.
