| Course description |
| Ecology is the branch of biology that deals with the relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings and the organisms distribution. This course is the introduction of Ecology. One aim of this course is that students understand the important keywords, fitness, adaption and evolution, and learn various animal behaivor and society, population dynamics and interaction between species. The other aim is that students understand biome and global dynamics of changing environments. |
| Expected Learning |
|
Learners who successfully complete this course will be able to: explain evolution using the term, fitness. explain various animal behaivor and society, population dynamics and interaction between species using the term,fitness, explain biome and global dynamics of changing environments. |
