Practical

Upon    completion     of    this practical course, students will:

CO29: Develop the skills to conduct a range of physicochemical water quality analyses and the ability to interpret the observed results

CO30: Acquire the ability to compile and maintain systematic practical records documenting the laboratory analyses, sampling procedures, data interpretations, and any challenges encountered

CO31: Integrate theoretical knowledge gained in the classroom with practical experiences from site visits and laboratory sessions and effectively communicate their observations through viva-voce.

CO32: Contribute effectively in course-specific interaction

Approach in teaching:

Conduction              of practical exercises, Interpretation of results obtained after analysis of samples

Learning activities for the students: Preparation    of   flow charts for conduction of practical exercises, field      visits,        case studies

Preparation of practical records, Viva Voce, Class Test, Semester End Examination
