"We are expecting that the student will be able to apply the biology basic concept in fieldwork and gain the basic knowledge in recognition and management of biodiversity" Dr. Ir. Miftahudin M.Si., head of the department explain the learning outcome of the course. The course will be followed by several activities in the campus, such as laboratory work, writing the report, presentation, and producing the documentary video.
