Form and Functions of Organisms is one of the compulsory courses that should be followed by all the second year Biological Science students. This is a two credits course and is combined with a practical component. This contains 22 hours of lectures including tutorials and 24 hours of practicals.
There are two unit examinations and two assignments. Students will be informed about the unit examination dates and assignment submission dates during lecture hours before-hand. Unit examinations and assignments add 30% marks for the end semester examination and thus presence for unit examinations and submission of assignments are important.
Practicals are usually done at the laboratory. A report should be produced according to the guidelines provided by the demonstrators and should be submitted at the end of each practical session. A practical examination will be held to check the practical performance of students. the practical component adds 25% for the end semester examination.
End semester paper contains three essay-type questions encompassing all the theory sections covered. Duration of the end semester paper is one and half hours. The remaining 45% marks to get the final grading of the student will come from this paper.
Attendance is important to lectures as well as to practical sessions. If a student lacks 80% either to lectures or practical sessions, the student will not be given a chance to sit for the end semester examination.
