BENEFITS FOR STUDENTS

The knowledge and skills gained through the General Biology helpful to students in understanding the basic principles of biology required in studying biology topics in other courses in the next semester. It is also useful in understanding the biological phenomena in themselves and their environment as a proof and a sign of the greatness and power of God, God Almighty
