Botany Phanerogamae

 

Module title SBEP2020 Phanerogamae Botany
Semester(s) 4th Semester
Person responsible Dr. Vivera Rueslli Puspa, S.Pd., M.Pd.
Language Indonesian, English
Relation to curriculum This course introduces students to seed plants (phanerogams), focusing on their classification, structural characteristics, reproduction, and evolutionary significance. It supports CPL-1 and CPL-6 by providing foundational knowledge of angiosperms and gymnosperms, which are critical for understanding plant biodiversity, ecology, and practical applications in agriculture and conservation. In alignment with ASIIN’s standards on subject-specific academic depth and scientific integration, the course encourages analytical thinking in systematics and comparative morphology. Students are trained to explore plant taxonomy not only as a scientific discipline but also as a tool for effective biology teaching and environmental awareness.
