Semey 2016 Foreword Plant and Animal ecology is a sub-discipline of ecology focused on the distribution and abundance of plants, and their interactions with the biotic and abiotic environment and science that studies the life of animals, traces their relationship under certain conditions of existence. It also shows the influence of environmental factors, which studied than feed the animals and how they survive in certain conditions.

1.2 Course short description Plant ecology is a sub-discipline of ecology focussed on the distribution and abundance of plants, and their interactions with the biotic and abiotic environment. Animal Ecology - is a branch of science that studies the life of animals, traces their relationship under certain conditions of existence. It also shows the influence of environmental factors, which studied than feed the animals and how they survive in certain conditions. Subject of “Plant and Animal ecology” is for specialty “5B011300 Biology”. The discipline working curriculum (syllabus) of “Plant and Animal ecology” prepared on the base of approved documents of ministry of education Republic of Kazakhstan. • For specialty of 5B011300 – Biology on base Resolution the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan from August 23, 2012 № 1080, On approval of the state obligatory standards of education corresponding levels of education (With additions as of 13.05.2016). • Subject of “Plant and Animal ecology” for specialty 5B011300 – Biology implemented as Optional component of discipline working program (first time provided on 09.06.2016, #6).

1.3 Course study aims The purpose of discipline - introduction of mechanisms of influence of environmental factors on living organisms and mechanisms of exposure of organisms in the environment, the study of forms of relationships between living organisms and various forms of adaptations of organisms.

3 COURSE POLICY

Attendance is strictly necessary. If for any reason a student cannot attend, then a student is responsible for all the material. Control tasks are required to perform and should be given on time. The work carried out with a delay, will automatically be assessed below. The results of the Midterm Examination are marked based on attendance, performance of student’s independent work in a timely manner, activity at lessons in oral or written form, the results of the Midterm Examination. If a student missed a class and failed to pass the Midterm Exam in a timely manner due to illness or other valid reasons, documented by the organization, a student is entitled to an individual passing of Midterm Exam. In this case, specific date of Midterm Exam is set according to the provided documents. P 042-1.09-2016 Red. № 1from09.06. 2016 Page.9from11

Any cheating or plagiarism (use, copying works of the other students) is forbidden, and the student will not be allowed to present at the lesson and / or there will be penalty assessment "unsatisfactory". Cell phones must to be turned off during lessons. 4 ACADEMIC GRADING POLICY

In each discipline, irrespective of the number of credits, 600 points are given for one academic term (1-7 week - 270 points and 30 points for attendance; 8-15 week - 270 points and 30 points for attendance).
