B.Sc. in Zoology(ZOE 355P)

Course Outcomes

CO	COGNITIVE ABILITIES	COURSE OUTCOMES
CO1	REMEMBERING	Recall methods for soil tests (pH, texture, carbonate, water holding), ecological succession stages, marine zonation, biogeochemical cycles, and environmental problems (acid rain, ozone depletion, global warming).
CO2	UNDERSTANDING	Explain community stratification, ecological adaptations, ecosystem types, and biological components using charts, specimens, and models.
CO3	APPLYING	Perform soil pH and carbonate tests; apply knowledge to identify food chains, food webs, and ecological interactions (mutualism, predation, parasitism).
CO4	ANALYZING	Compare hydrosere vs. xerosere succession; analyze population interactions; examine differences in adaptations (aquatic vs. desert vs. flight).
CO5	EVALUATING	Assess the impact of greenhouse effect, eutrophication, biomagnification, and carbon footprints; evaluate ecosystem functioning and conservation measures.
CO6	CREATING	Construct ecological models of food webs and nutrient cycles; design simple strategies for soil/forest conservation and reducing environmental pollution.
