objectives/intended learning outcomes
After completing this module, students are expected to:
- master basic biology knowledge using the Nature of Science (NOS) along with logical, critical, systematical, and innovative thinking in team collaboration using local potential and information technology development.
- analyze science phenomena in an integrated manner to solve problems logically, critically, systematically, and critically using information technology as data resources in the form of team work that respect the originality of other works.
