Opće kompetencije
Students receive the necessary theoretical and practical knowledge on the basis of which it will be able to independently plan the cultivation of certain arable crops to be used for the production of biomass and energy. After the completion of lectures and assuming regular of exercises, students will be able to independently develop crop rotation system to produce food and energy.
Oblici nastave
- Lectures
Classical lectures will be conducted to particular study problems that should be solved in small student’s groups. Independent student's work and argumentation will be especially encouraged. - Other
Exercises During exercises the students will learn how to carry out procedures for some analysis of plant material that can be used to evaluate quality of plant material. - Field work
Field work - the students will participate: in planning of field experiments, in observations during vegetation period of some energy crops, and in planning of different activities before and after harvest of some energy crops. - Seminars
A student or group of students (3 students), will choose one topic from the course. The students have to prepare power point presentation and also, the students have to present chosen topics, in form of oral presentation.
