LEARNING OUTCOMES:

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

1. Analyse and relate the genetic defects to the principle of hereditary. (C4)2. Classify organisms based on their metabolism and characteristics. (P4)3. Appreciate the importance of variation among organisms living on earth.

(A3)4. Apply discipline knowledge and critical thinking to define and analyze

problems, and develop effective solutions. (CT3)

TRANSFERABLE SKILLS:Skills in this course are developed through tutorial, problems-based learning,

assignments and group discussion. Skills are assessed through courseworkwhich is presentation, report and class participation.
