Lectures and practical exercises, original drawing of some parts of animal body or it derivates, examination.
The study of the animal body structure of animals is a very old scientific discipline that has accumulated a vast amount of detailed knowledge. Comparing them is not only a way to put the knowledge into a comprehensive system, but mainly a way to find general anatomical rules that are tied to one of the animal's phylogenetic linneage or have general validity and reveal the degree of phylogenetic relationship of animals or the degree of adaptation to the environment and a way of life. A brief summary of the phylogeny of the animal body building plan and organ systems using the knowledge of classical and modern comparative morphological approach, supported by knowledge of embryology and molecular data for interpretation of the phenotype are the content of this course.
The student will acquire basic knowledge about the principles of building the animal body from the simplest protostomian invertebrates to vertebrates. Despite the huge taxonomic diversity of animals, their bodies can be interpreted by a relatively limited number of building principles that correspond to the systematic position of the examined animal and functional adaptations to the environment and way of life. The subject examines the structure of the body at the level of organs and organ systems, by applying the method of comparison it seeks general principles and also peculiarities. It is also important to get acquainted with the principal terms, which the student will use in the spectrum of other study subjects.

The condition for passing the course is active participation in mandatory exercises, completion of all interim assessments during the exercises and successful completion of 3 interim tests on topics currently covered in lectures.
Continuous evaluations during the exercises are: a test on zoological terms and determination of animals according to the picture. To successfully complete the exercises, students must obtain at least 28 out of a maximum of 40 points.
Mid-term tests from the lectures will be written using the Moodle environment. There are no correction dates for these tests. Students earn points for each test.
The final grade for the subject is determined by adding up the points from the exercises and the points from the tests within lecture topics, with the points from the exercises making up 30% and the points from the tests making up 70% of the final grade.
Continuous evaluations during the exercises are: a test on zoological terms (know how to define selected terms; the list is published at the beginning of the semester), determnation of animals according to the picture (assign the Slovak and scientific genus and species name and classify them into a class or series; the list of animals is published at the beginning semester, the students' task is to find the correct animal pictures for the names and learn to name the animal according to the picture). Students have one correction period for the test of terms and one of animal determination. All interim assessments are scored.
In addition to the points from the exercises, the points obtained for the 3 mid-term tests from the content of the teached topics will also be reflected in the final grade for the subject. Test dates will be announced at the first lecture and will also be listed in the Moodle course for the subject. For tests, taxonomic classification needs to be controlled to the level of classes, for insects to the level of orders.
By adding up all the points from the interim evaluation within the exercises and tests from the previous lectures, the final grade for the subject is determined.
Point limits for individual grades:
A - 100.0-93.0 points
B - 92.9-86.0 points
C - 85.9-79.0 points
D - 78.9-72.0 points
E - 71.9-65.0 points
FX - less than 65 points

Continuous evaluations during the exercises are: a test on zoological terms (knowing how to define selected terms; the list is published at the beginning of the semester), recognizing animals according to the picture (assign the Slovak and scientific genus and species name to the depicted animal and classify it into a class or series; the list of animals is published at the beginning of the semester, the students' task is to find the correct animal pictures for the names and learn to name the animal according to the picture). Students have one correction period for the paper and animal knowledge. All interim assessments are scored. The maximum number of points from the exercises is 40, while the student must obtain at least 28 points to pass the exercises.
If students get less than 28 points from the interim evaluations in the exercises, they have not completed the exercises and must enroll in the subject again in the next academic year. If the students get at least 28 points, they have successfully completed the exercises and can register for the final exam, bringing with them the points from the exercises, which make up 40% of the final grade.
The exam is always oral. Specific exam dates will be posted in AIS2 at the end of the semester. More detailed information on the types of questions on the exam is published in the Moodle course for the subject. Students get 60% of the final grade from the exam.
Point limits for individual grades:
A - 100.0-93.0 points
B - 92.9-86.0 points
C - 85.9-79.0 points
D - 78.9-72.0 points
E - 71.9-65.0 points
FX - less than 65 points
If necessary, students have the opportunity to consult with the lecturer. Unless otherwise stated at the first lecture, consultations take place every Wednesday between 10:00 and 11:00. If the date is not convenient for someone, it is advisable to arrange a consultation date individually by contacting the lecturer by email (peter.luptacik@upjs.sk).
