The aim of the course:
The course aims to give the students the growth and structures of population, biological and environmental factors effect the population. Sampling methods ( random, stratified, re-capture, systematic) for determining the growth of the population and interaction among -between population
 
Programme OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
PO - 1 : understand of the structures of the amphibian populations.1,3,51,3,5,
PO - 2 : aware of the biological and ecological factors effect the amphibians populations and ecosystem. 1,3,51,3,5,
PO - 3 : know how do sampling of populations. 1,3,51,3,4,
PO - 4 : check the structures of populations. 1,3,51,3,5,
CTPO : Contribution to programme outcomes, TOA :Type of assessment (1: written exam, 2: Oral exam, 3: Homework assignment, 4: Laboratory exercise/exam, 5: Seminar / presentation, 6: Term paper), PO : Learning Outcome
