Learning outcomes

The primary topics of concern included identification of various types of arthropods, variations of external and internal structures of different species of arthropods, appreciation for arthropod diversity and respect for living organisms.Arthropods are ecologically important, evolutionarily successful animals with considerable economic impact, medicinal potential, and conservation relevance. Students will learn about these animals through a combination of lecture, group activities, laboratory observations and field experience. The course is open to undergraduate students having successfully completed Invertebrate Zoology.
