This gives a quite impression that the teaching process is efficient and accordingly the students are greatly understood the contents of the course and attained most of the course skills.

No Getting an enough lab material such as microscopic slides, experiments and sample of plant. No Buying Text books and lab manual. Next Year Action Plan Date Responsible Dept. Head Faculty Dean Dept. Head Activity Trying to get more lab facilities such as slides, and video films as guide for dissection of different systems. Trying to get an Internet access in the class room to make link with the specific course web sites. Trying to buy Text books and lab manual necessary for teaching.
