Definition and types of biotic interactions. occurrence, extent and ecological effects), predation and parasitism (nature of attack, plant defense, plant responses), allelopathy (mechanism, allelopathy in perspective). Students learn about the nature, types and mechanisms of toxicity, as well as the extent of arsenic toxicity in Bangladesh. Students are taught in an interactive approach, where students are encouraged to participate in the discussion of the topic in each lecture.
Students will be required to carry practical and field books during the course period. At least 1 in-course exam of 17.5 points for 1.5 hours will be taken to assess the student's progress midway through the course period. The final exam in both the theoretical and practical content of the course will be taken after the review of the course content.
In addition, students will be assessed continuously throughout the course period through class attendance (2.5 points, 5% of total course marks) and other forms such as practical and field notebook keeping and submission, as well as collection and submission of specimens. The marks for the practical exam and other continuous assessment segments are included in the marks allocated for the practical course.
