Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
Student is able to focus on issues of biological waste treatment methods. He can use theoretical knowledge in solving practical tasks in the exercises. It is able to solve assigned tasks, observing and objectively record the results of experiments, to observe safety principles when working with biological material and technical devices. Furthermore, synthetically evaluate the information and knowledge gained in solving the exercises and to defend the discussion of laboratory experiments outputs.
