Course / Program Outcomes (CO/PO/PSO)
CO 1. By the end of the course, students will be able to understand and classify plants into major groups (algae, fungi, lichens, bryophytes, pteridophytes, gymnosperms, and angiosperms) based on their morphological and reproductive features.
CO2: Students will be able to identify and explain the economic significance of various plant groups, recognizing their applications in industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, biofuels, textiles, and environmental sustainability.
CO3: Students will gain the ability to describe the reproductive cycles and morphological
characteristics of plants like algae, fungi, lichens, bryophytes, and others, with examples from groups such as Nostoc, Agaricus, Riccia, Azolla, Cycas, and others.
CO4: Students will understand the various applications of plant sciences in real-world scenarios such as environmental monitoring, bioremediation, medicine, and industrial processes like
biofuel production, food processing, and landscaping.
