Approximately 30 students.
To get the degree, each student has to study 48 courses.
Lectures: I will deliver clear and concise lectures introducing core concepts in Agricultural Biotechnology. However, these won’t be passive information dumps. I will incorporate interactive elements like polls, clicker questions, and mini-debates to keep you engaged and assess understanding.
Group Discussions and Activities: We will delve deeper into concepts through facilitated group discussions, case studies, and problem-solving activities. Working collaboratively allows you to share diverse perspectives, strengthen critical thinking, and develop communication skills.
Laboratory Experiments: Agricultural Biotechnology is a hands-on field. You’ll gain practical experience through well-designed laboratory experiments that reinforce theoretical concepts learned in lectures. I’ll be there to guide you through the protocols and ensure your safety.
Guest Lectures (Optional): Inviting experts from research institutions or the agricultural industry can provide valuable insights into real-world applications of Agricultural Biotechnology.
Online Resources: I will provide supplementary online resources, including articles, simulations, and video lectures, to enhance your learning beyond the classroom.
Learning Management System (LMS) : An LMS can be a helpful platform to access course materials, submit assignments, track progress, and participate in online discussions.
I advise all students who want to study abroad to stay here in Egypt because the educational system is in continuous improvement, and KSIU is one living example of that, and it offers all the latest teaching technologies
