| Learning Outcomes | CTPO | TOA | | Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to : | | | | LO - 1 : | They will learn about the characteristics of plants used for rehabilitation purposes and understand the relationships between rehabilitation efforts in rural and urban areas. They will evaluate the physical (texture, structure, compaction) and chemical (pH, nutrient content, salinity) properties | 1 - 2 | | | LO - 2 : | They will classify the plants used for restoration purposes. They will evaluate basic ecological parameters such as soil, moisture, and temperature, and use this information in reports and landscape project decisions. | 1 - 2 | | | LO - 3 : | They will learn different planting techniques in rehabilitation designs. | 1 - 2 | | | LO - 4 : | They will be able to apply the results they have obtained using these techniques. | 1 - 2 | | | LO - 5 : | Students will be able to evaluate the use and design of plants for rehabilitation purposes within the spatial design process and transfer this knowledge to project courses. | 1 - 2 | | | CTPO : Contribution to programme outcomes, TOA :Type of assessment (1: written exam, 2: Oral exam, 3: Homework assignment, 4: Laboratory exercise/exam, 5: Seminar / presentation, 6: Term paper), LO : Learning Outcome | | |
