Synopsis

This unit introduces students to the theory and practice of laboratory
and  field  technologies relevant to biological disciplines. Initially
the   unit   will  provide  instruction  in  the  use  of   laboratory
instrumentation  and  methods of collecting, analysing  and  reporting
scientific  information. Students will then be  set  an  investigative
task   and  be  required  to  resolve  problems  using  the  available
analytical techniques. Instruction will include practice in  technical
report writing as well as exposure to relevant safety issues.
