|
CO27: Develop holistic competencies vis a vis verbal & written communication skill which will promote curiosity, innovation and a passion for research including critical thinking CO28: To develop the skill of preparing & understanding the anatomical sections of monocots and dicots: root, stem, and leaves and interpret the anomalies. CO29: To evaluate and predict different type of ovules and embryo sacs based on their structure and development respectively. CO30: Contribute effectively in course-specific interaction. |
Approach in teaching: Interactive Lectures, Discussion, Tutorials, Reading assignments, Demonstration, Team teaching Learning activities for the student: Self-learning assignment, Effective questions, Stimulation, Seminar presentation |
Practical assignments and laboratory reports Observation of practical skills Individual and group project reports Viva voce interviews are majorly adopted assessment methods
