Topic

Pharmacobotany covers all pharmaceutical aspects of botany. Plant systematics discusses the classification and geographical origin of plant species, the possibilities of cultivation and nature conservation. A special emphasis is laid on chemotaxonomic aspects, since the medicinal effect of a plant is often related to its taxonomic classification and chemical characteristics. The thorough knowledge of both general and specific pharmacobotany is a prerequisite of studying pharmacognosy.

Mid-term exams

From the 2nd week onwards, students have to pass a short test each week (recognising and characterising medicinal plants).
The tests can be: online (Moodle), oral or written.
The successful completion of the online tests is a prerequisite of attending the next practice.

The grades of the weekly tests, together with activity in classes will form the basis of the final practice grade.

Making up for missed classes

Missed practicals can be made up either by joining the other groups or taking extra time at the following lab practical. In all cases, students must make arrangements with their lab instructors in advance.
