B. Base Competencies
Students understanding about base concept of ecology, having skills to implements of
methods of population study, comunity, implementing that base concept to solve the probles
about environments, biodiversity, and biological resourches
C. Indicators
On the end of semester, students:
1. Understand about scope and history of ecology
2. Understand and having the possitive attitude about concepts of energy in ecology
systems and material cycles and physical conditions of existences, concepts of limiting factor,
types of species and individu in a ecosystem, and development and evolution of ecosystem,
and implementing of that concepts on their behaviour
D. Objectives of Course
Students understanding, building on possitive attitude, and implementing on their
behavior about scope and history of ecology , concepts of energy in ecology systems, material
cycles and physical conditions of existences, concepts of limiting factor, types of species and
individu in a ecosystem, and development and evolution of ecosystem.
E. Description of Material
Scope and history of ecology , concepts of energy in ecology systems, material cycles
and physical conditions of existences, concepts of limiting factor, types of species and
individu in a ecosystem, and development and evolution of ecosystem.
