Course Objectives
-
- • To make a comparative study of the anatomy of an organ in different groups of vertebrates
-
- • To derive the evolutionary significance from it
-
- • Tto understand as to why an organ evolved the way it is present now.
Course Outcomes
| COs | Course Outcome | Mapping COs with POs
(High-3, Medium-2, Low-1) |
| CO1 | Students recognize vertebrate structural principles by studying all body systems of vertebrates in an evolutionary perspective. | PO1-3, PO7-1, PO9-2 |
| CO2 | Compare and contrast the anatomical systems of different vertebrates and identifycommon traits across species and groups. | PO1-3, PO4-2, PO9-2 |
| CO3 | Compare and contrast the anatomical systems of different vertebrates and identifycommon traits across species and groups. | PO1-3, PO2-2, PO9-2 |
