Soils classification and Soils of Bangladesh

The course deals with soil systems and its environments from the perspective of soil classification. The primary emphasis is on Bangladesh soils and classification, with significant attention to global soils. This field-based course introduces the basics in soil classification and field descriptions and assessments using the US Soil Taxonomy and other common techniques used in natural resource management.

Develop knowledge among graduates about different classification systems and structure of Soil Taxonomy and WRB and be able to classify soils using the systems. 

At the end of the course, the students will be able to -

1.     propose the need for and importance of soil classification systems.

2.     summarize the history of soil classification systems.

3.     classify soil profiles using the US and WRB system of soil classification.

arrange a correlation between all the classification systems.

Soil and Environmental Biochemistry

To understand the construction of macromolecules in nature and their behaviour and how these macromolecules function within a living cell to make life possible. To understand the construction of macromolecules in nature and their behaviour and how these macromolecules function within a living cell to make life possible.

Research Methodology Sessional/Field Work

This course is designed to have contents and practices for capacity building in the graduates for proper questionnaire preparation, operation of statistical software, research data handling, arrangement, input, illustration and interpretation.  

Soil Classification and Soils of Bangladesh Field Work

This course focuses on identifying soils in the field and classifying soils into different classification systems for various uses. This course will cover procedures for observing, measuring, and describing soils in the field. The goal is to produce consistent data for soil inventory and classification using techniques that improve the consistency of determining soil properties in the field. Students will gain experience with describing and classifying soils in Bangladesh using soil horizons and properties measured in the field.

Soil and Environmental Biochemistry Sessional

 The course is designed to provide basic practical knowledge on biochemistry.

At the end of the course the students will be able to -

1. categorize reducing and non-reducing sugar.

2. determine the crude protein content of a sample.

3. isolate genomic DNA

Research Methodology

This course is designed to provide an introduction to research and research methodology in biological sciences. The course also provides different experimental designs and how to analyze the statistical data with a valid procedure.

Orientation to University Education System Fieldwork

This course is designed to guide undergraduate students in adjusting to the academic, social, and cultural life of the Khulna University. Transitioning from college to university is challenging for many reasons, so this course is here to teach students the skills and knowledge they need to be successful students.
