2. LEARNING OUTCOMES
|
Learning Outcomes |
|
|
The course aims to provide students with necessary knowledge essential for them in order to create designs, take observations, carry out the experiments and analyze the results of agricultural field experiments. On successful completion of this module the students will be able to: 1. Understand the basic principles of Agricultural experimentation. 2 – Determine the appropriate size of the experimental plot and the number of replications. 3 - Understand basic concepts: variance, such as analysis of variability, experimental error, etc. 4. Design and set up simple experimental designs 5. Analyze the data and present the results of basic experimental designs. |

General Competences |
|
|
They have the theoretical and practical background concerning the knowledge field of the science of Agriculture and the process of plant production. They have the ability to creatively utilize scientific knowledge and modern technology for the establishment of several kinds of field experiments (plant production) as well as the development of several kinds of experiments in animal production. They have acquired the necessary knowledge to be able to access post-graduate studies - They are able to properly apply their theoretical and practical knowledge acquired during their studies |
