Course Objective
The course will be designed as a 3-credit course. It will employ a blended and interactive approach, combining lectures, tours, group presentations, and classroom discussions. Even students without prior knowledge of ecology will receive support to successfully complete the course. Throughout the course, students will gain an appreciation for nature with basic understanding of ecological theories.
Upon completion, students will have the ability to:
‧explain, from an individual to a community level, how organisms interact with their environment, shaping their ecological niche, and how biotic and abiotic factors collectively influence species abundance and distribution.
‧creatively apply their ecological knowledge in tackling societal crises.
‧demonstrate critical thinking, communication skills, problem solving, project managing, and teamwork.
