GOALS:

To provide students with relevant knowledge and understand about structure and function in order to
enable the students to apply the knowledge and skills in teaching profession.

LEARNING OUTCOMES :

At the end of the course, students should be able to :

1. Organise experiments on animal and plant functions. (plo1, c5)
2. Combine various technical skills in solving problems concerning body organization transport
system, maintenance system and nervous system. (plo2, p5)
3. Solve the problems in structure and function using effective strategies. (plo4, a4)
