Overview

The general objectives of the course are written in the form of the outcomes that the student is supposed to acquire after successfully completing the course.

  • Interested in studying moss plants.
  • Study of the plants you want.
  • Know the patterns and survival strategies of plants in different environments.
  • Study of seed plants.
  • Study of gymnosperm plants.
  • Study of plants covered with seeds.

Intended learning outcomes

The course intended learning outcomes must be identified, and each intended learning outcome must be given a number or code for reference. Targeted learning outcomes include:

 a. Knowledge and understanding

 The basic information and the main concepts that the student should acquire after successfully studying the course should be included in the areas of knowledge and understanding.

 Knowledge: the ability to remember, retrieve and repeat information without significant change, such as: knowledge of specific facts (specific events, specific dates, characteristics), knowledge of technical terminology (the meanings of verbal and non-verbal symbols), knowledge of conventional conventions for dealing with phenomena or knowledge, knowledge of classifications and categories. Knowledge of standards, methodological knowledge of research methods, knowledge of generalities and abstractions (principles and generalizations, knowledge of theories and abstract structures).

 Comprehension: The ability to interpret or rephrase the information that the student has acquired at the level of knowledge in his own language, including translation, interpretation, and conclusion, such as: explanation/ clarification/ interpretation/ description/ drawing/ reference to...etc.

 It is formulated as follows: for the student to recognize, for the student to remember, for the student to enumerate, for the student to describe, for the student to explain, for the student to explain, for the student to draw. Knowledge is achieved through: lectures, books, laboratory activities, workshops and assignments. It is measured by theoretical and oral tests.

  1.   The student dealt with the microscope in the laboratory to identify different types of plants
  2. The student lists plants according to the evolutionary ladder and ways of their coexistence
  3. The student learns how to use a light microscope, how to draw sectors and prepare slides
  4. The student explains how plant species are related and exist
  5. The student benefits from a comparison between extinct plants and plants that exist today
  6. The student's knowledge of the classification of plants
  7. This course is basic and an introduction to advanced courses in botanyB. Mental skills

 It determines the mental skills acquired by the student on analysis after successfully studying the course, the ability to think creatively, identify and solve problems...etc. It is formulated as follows: for the student to connect / for the student to analyze / for the student to distinguish / for the student to compare / for the student to criticize / for the student to suggest / for the student to conclude / for the student to solve a problem. Mental skill is achieved through: duties / projects / group work / laboratory activities / case studies. Mental skill is measured through: written exam / independent projects / research.

  1.  Prepare reports from each student
  2. The student analyzes how plants evolve
  3. The student distinguishes between higher plants and primary plants
  4. Conduct practical exams on how to use the microscope and prepare slides
  5. Collective participation of students

 C. Practical and professional skills

 The skills that the student must acquire when successfully studying the course must be included, enabling him to use what he studied in professional applications, for example: using some electronic devices and equipment, performing laser applications, being able to diagnose a disease, doing engineering design, designing a program computer.....etc. It is formulated as follows: for the student to characterize, for the student to perform, for the student to characterize, for the student to store, for the student to use, for the student to design. Scientific and professional skills are achieved through: laboratory activities, workshops, and field training. Scientific and professional skills are measured through: laboratory activities, workshops, and field training.

  1.    Through this course, the student will acquire how to examine plant samples
  2. Through this course, the student will benefit from learning about the evolution of plants
  3. The student distinguishes between plant groups
  4. The student will benefit from using the microscope to compare the anatomical types of plants. D. General and transferable skills

 The various general skills or usable skills are included in the fields of work that the student must acquire when studying the course successfully, so that they can be applied in any field and include: communication and written and oral communication, the use of modern technological tools, information and communication technology, dealing with computers, work In problem solving team, management...etc. It is formulated as follows: The student should be able to communicate and communicate written and oral, The student should be able to use modern technology, The student should be able to work in a team, The student should be able to solve problems. General and transferable skills are achieved through: the ability to communicate and communicate, the ability to work in teams, the ability to manage time, the ability to deliver and present, the ability to use a computer and the Internet. General and transferred skills are measured through: writing scientific reports and articles, giving oral presentations, team work skills.

  1.  Student knowledge of economically important plants
  2. Correct and scientific comparison between mosses and triids
  3. Learn how to handle a microscope
  4. Learn the benefits of moss and thridia plants.

Teaching and learning methods

The methods and methods used in teaching the course must be specified, such as: lectures / field visits / laboratory activities / information gathering / case studies and discussion panels … etc.

  1. Use a slide projector to increase explanation and clarification
  2. Use a light microscope in practical hours to study and examine microscopic samples
  3. The practical part requires each student to prepare a notebook to draw and write laboratory samples
  4. Conducting panel discussions during the course

Methods of assessments

The assessment strategy for the student in this course consists of three elements:
  • The first midterm exam (written), of 25 marks.
  • The second midterm exam (written), of 25 marks
  • Final exam (written), out of 50 marks
