Module title SBEP1008 Plant Morphology
Semester(s) 2nd Semester
Person responsible Prof. Dr. Djufri, M.Si.
Language Indonesian, English
Relation to curriculum Compulsory module in Plant Morphology. This course explores the external structure of higher plants including roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds. It supports CPL-1 and CPL-6 by strengthening foundational biological knowledge and observational skills, and aligns with ASIIN standards by promoting analysis of plant diversity in ecological and evolutionary contexts.
Teaching methods Lecture, inquiry approach, investigates questions, problems, or concepts.
Workload 2 x 45 hours per semester, comprising:
✔ 100 minutes lecture and discussion per week
✔ 120 minutes structured tasks per week
✔ 120 minutes learn to be independent per week
Credit points 2 SKS = 3,34 ECTS (90 hours)
Prerequisites –
Module objectives ✔ Explain root, stem, leaf, flower, fruit, and seed concepts accurately
