Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
I teach on the first year Plant and Environmental Biology module. In this course we introduce
the fundamentals of plant biology, their hydraulics, their cell biology, their molecular biology
and also how they interact with the environment and how we assess the environment. The course
is taught by a series of lectures and practicals; about 25 lectures and 5 practicals and it's
assessed by a series of in-course test, some of which count towards the final degree and
some of which don't, they're just to give you feedback, and importantly a write-up of
a group practical project. If you're interested in this course and the
topics in this courses there are lots of directions you can go in the second and final year. You
could for example choose to do some of our more molecular cell biology modules, which
think about how we make GM crops and how we assess their impact. Or additionally you could
take field modules where you look at the impact of plants and the environment out in the real
world say, for example, in Norway where one of our courses actually goes.
