2. Objectives and learning outcomes
2.1 Objectives
The aim of the course is to make students recognize basic and special phenomenon in the field of seepage and groundwater flow, to learn how to find and evaluate the literature to describe it and how to make a synthesis.
2.2 Learning outcomes
Upon successful completion of this subject, the student:
A. Knowledge
  1. to be aware of the general terminology of hydrogeology
  2. to be aware of the general equations describing seepage and groundwater flow, and also special phenomenon
  3. to be aware of the phenomenon and methods to be applied in case of compound hydrogeological systems
B. Skills
  1. to be able to describe groundwater flow systems with the proper hydraulic models,
  2. based on the knowledge in the technical literature to be able to give a detailed introduction of a smaller, special topic
  3. to be able to present his/her results in proper oral and written form,
  4. to be able to participate in discussions in the fireld if seepage and groindwater flow
C. Attitudes
  1. to collaborate with the teachers and his/her mates in gaining knowledge,
  2. to follow the lectures, to make effort to understand the study material,
  3. to strive for the proper identification of problems in connection with seepage and groundwater flow and their proper solution,
  4. to strive for accuracy in his/her calculations/solutions,
  5. to realize the importance of the effects of human activities on the environment.
D. Autonomy and Responsibility
  1. to be independent in exploring the resources to introduce seepage and groundwater flow procedures,
  2. to be open to careful and deep going critique,
  3. to collaborate with the mates to discover certain field and to discuss it,
  4. to understand the complexity, comprehensiveness of the problems and recognizing the synergies.
2.3 Methods
The first part of the course consists of lecutes on special questions of seepage and groundwater flow. After it, the students prepare presentations of cca 30 min. on topics agreed with the lecturer and the class mates. The topic should be connected to the research field of the student, if possible. Each presentation is followed by a discussion.
