Must have completed the initial modules of the Master.
This module provides a link between the theoretical and methodological training offered in previous modules of the master and its application to solving a specific problem in the field of terrestrial ecology. This is achieved in a supervised individual work whose objectives are that students (1) be integrated into a working group in the chosen field; (2) become familiar with the literature on the subject of their work; (3) be able to provide valid solutions to problems that arise in the design of their master work; (4) produce a complete experimental design to be applied in this work; (5) plan and realistically schedule their master work; and (6) know how to soundly use the relevant methods .
This is a supervised work to train students in a specific field of terrestrial ecology. It can be carried out in the facilities of the UAB, in any of the other institutions participating directly in the master (CREAF, IRTA, CSIC) or in public or private companies or public agencies working in the field of terrestrial ecology.
Not applicable.
Students' own work, under direction of their supervisor.
The proposed teaching methodology may experience some modifications depending on the restrictions to face-to-face activities enforced by health authorities.
