Overview

  • The objective of the course is to develop acceptable laws and principles for describing, defining and naming all plant species.
  • It aims to arrange the types of plants defined according to a specific taxonomic system that shows the links of lineage and kinship between them.
  • Familiarity of the student with the organized record of plant groups, especially wild ones, in specific geographical locations or what is known as Flora
  • Enable the student to find a conception of the evolutionary processes related to the origin and existence of plants.

Teaching and learning methods

    • Theoretical lectures using available primitive and modern means
    • Practical training using microscopes and slides as well as vegetable specimens bold and dried
    • Divide students into small groups working collectively throughout the semester, especially during practical lessons
    • Writing articles and issues of seminars undertaken by each separately distributed group presented during the semester
