- To classify insects based morphology.
Learning outcomes
At the end of this course of Zoology and Entomology, all students will be able to:
- Describe and explain the functioning of all human systems.
- Explain basic concepts of zoology, histology and animal systematic.
- Explain causes of organisms diversity
- Classify Arthropods till family taxonomic level.
Student learning activities
In the learning process, you will have to:
Conduct a self- study, inviting the facilitator to provide clarification needed. Doing quiz, test, assignments, presentations, group discussion, a field-visit, a laboratory work, writing and submitting report to the facilitator of the unit and writing final exam.
