Например, посещая лекции и семинарские занятия, студенты овладевают фундаментальными знаниями о законах жизни на земле, а лабораторные работы позволяют студентам овладеть на практикеэкспериментальными методами этого познания.

Выполняя лабораторные работы,студентам необходимо не только грамотно пользоваться лабораторным оборудованием и правильно проводить эксперименты, но и уметь извлекать из них полезные результаты и оценивать степень их достоверности. Именно в ходе такой работы студент приобретает профессиональные навыки, необходимые не только будущему специалисту-практику, но и исследователю-экспериментатору.21Впоследние годы все большаячасть выпускников биологических факультетов находит себя в других сферах человеческой деятельности,тесно связанных с биологией. Именно всесторонняя подготовка, умение поднимать и решать сложнейшие задачи, анализировать и оценивать результаты делаютих настоящими специалистами, которые получаютувлекательную и стоящую работу.Add new vocabulary to your vocabulary notebook.2.
