Outcomes-Based Education (OBE) Course Syllabus in SCIENCE 102
Course Credit: 3
Date Revised: June 27, 2018
Program: BEED major in GENED Term : First Semester
Pre-requisite: Basic Sciences Subject Academic Year : 2018-2019
Course Description:
This is a one-semester course discussing the ecological thoughts and principles as affected by human
intervention. This course includes a discussion of all factors that influence the distribution and abundance
of organisms. An examination of the interaction of both biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) elements of
the environment as consequential to population increase will be the main focus of the study.
Anthropogenic sources of resource exhaustion will also be given special emphasis.
Course Outcomes:
1. Demonstrate an in-depth understanding of the major role of human in maintaining balance of the
ecosystem
2. Propose mitigating measures towards environmental protection against air, water and land
exploitation
3. Conduct community intervention project with regards to the most pressing environmental
problem.
