CZOL 211T

Diversity and evolution of non-chordates

(Coelomate non-chordates)

 

The students will be able to-

 

CO 1 :Differentiate the animals  from Arthropoda to Echinodermata  based on their characteristics and  the common physical features of  other animals belonging to the  same phylum. 

CO 2 : Investigate social behaviour  and colony formation in termites  and honey bees. 

CO 3 : Appraise knowledge about  sericulture, Lac culture, apiculture  and pearl culture and implement  this to their economical importance. 

CO 4 : Interpret the origin and  evolutionary relationship of  different larval forms from Annelida  to Echinodermata

 

The approach in  teaching: 

Interactive Lectures,  Discussion, Tutorials,  Reading assignments,  Demonstration, Team  teaching 

Learning activities for  the students: 

Self-learning  

assignments, Effective  questions, Seminar  presentation, Giving the  tasks,
