Course Outcomes

• Identify and classify non-chordates (e.g., annelids, arthropods) and chordates (e.g., protochordates, Pisces) up to the required taxonomic level.
• Describe external features, internal systems and structures of Earthworm and Scoliodon using charts/models.
• Demonstrate mounting techniques (e.g., placoid scales, body setae) and identify key features of organisms.
• Compare anatomical adaptations (e.g., coelom in annelids, venomous vs. non-venomous snakes).
• Evaluate the ecological and economic importance of organisms (e.g., lac culture, keystone species).
• Create diagrams or presentations for biodiversity hotspots, adaptive radiation, or organ system anatomy.
