07. Organization of Course Topics

Course materials are organized at least six topics. Course Content delivery is packaged according to scientific logic so that the
First topic is a prerequisite to next topic. Topic will be started from insect introduction until to the role of insect for human being.

08. Learning Models and Methods

The learning model this course are direct learning, small group discussion, discovery learning, cooperative learning, contextual
instruction, problem based learning", and its methods includes lectures, question and answer, group discussion, and assignment.  

09. Student’s Obligations

Students must attend lecture minimum of 75%. Also must follow formative test four times, completing daily tasks and prepare
presentation in power point format. The delay in doing and in giving the tasks will implicate on reduction of score. 

10. Assessment Criteria (Grading System):

The assessment for this course will be based on as follows: 
1. Scientific paper (Rekayasa Ide) 2 X = 20%
2. Mini research (MR) & Presentation 1 X = 15%
3. Critical Journal Review (CJR) 2 X = 10%
5. Insectarium and Presentation 1 X = 10%
6. Mid test 1 X = 20 %

Total = 100%

Topic for mini research

Topic for mini research is „ Insect biodiversity at Paddy Field“
