Learning Outcomes
Knowledge of animal classification and taxonomy: Students will learn about the different groups of animals and how they are classified based on their physical and genetic characteristics.
Understanding of animal anatomy and physiology: Students will learn about the structure and function of different organ systems in animals, including the circulatory, respiratory, digestive, nervous, and reproductive systems.
Familiarity with animal behavior: Students will study how animals interact with their environment and each other, including topics such as communication, social behavior, and mating strategies.
Understanding of animal ecology: Students will learn about the relationships between animals and their environment, including topics such as population dynamics, community interactions, and ecosystem processes.
Critical thinking and scientific inquiry: Students will learn to analyze and evaluate scientific evidence, and apply critical thinking skills to solve problems and answer questions related to animal biology and ecology.
Effective communication: Students will develop strong written and verbal communication skills, which are essential for presenting scientific findings and collaborating with peers in the field of zoology.
