Aims
The content of the course brings students a study of functions that they have not seen in general courses. Emphasis is put on physiology and morphology of animals. In this context students will particularly pay attention to comparison of solutions brought by different animal groups. Students present a personal work (written and oral presentation) in which they develop a subject chosen in accordance with teachers and discussed with other participants of the course. Seminars (criticism of articles) during the year will allow the student to build up his knowledge in the particular field of study.
