Diversity and evolution of non-chordates

Practical

 

The students will be able to-

 

CO 1 :Identify different laboratory specimens based on their external  features and appearance and their  categorical relation with various  phylum. 

CO 2: Differentiate the animals  from Annelida  to Echinodermata  based on their characteristics and  the common physical features of  other animals belonging to the  same phylum. 

CO 3: 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,
