Learning outcomes
|
Throughout the course, the students will gain the knowledge and skills required to work with scientific papers in compliance with the FTK UP quotation norm. The students will be able to distinguish the research methods used in addressing research problems in biomedical areas and to propose an adequate method to design a research project as a part of the final thesis. Based on the information presented during the lectures and according to the design of the research plan jointly produced during the lectures, the students will produce and defend an own thesis project (outline). Information about this course was translated to English within the project Internationalization of the Faculty of Physical Culture, Palacký University, Olomouc, No. CZ.1.07/2.2.00/28.0028, co-funded by the European Social Fund and the Government of the Czech Republic.

Through application of acquired knowledge, the student performs own data collection and processing. The student is qualified to work with new experimental findings and to interpret such findings in the context of published scientific papers.
