Aim to teach the students a variety of survey techniques and habitat management ideas, relevant to real-world situations. ASSESSED LEARNING OUTCOMES: (additional guidance below) At the end of the module the learner will be expected to be able to: Demonstrate a knowledge of the ecology of native and common introduced reptile and amphibian species. Know a variety of survey techniques and choose appropriate ones for the situation. Have an understanding of habitat management techniques and monitoring for herpetofauna and legislation supporting this.
