This course will interactively engage students cognitively on major industrial crops such as rubber, oil palm, cocoa and paddy. Students will identify, discuss and explain economic importance of the above crop as well as the agronomic practices. Topics such as crop protection and after harvest activities including processing of products of the above crops will also be part of the interactive learning process. Lecture sessions employ a mixture of lectures and active learning (self and peer discussions). The outcomes shall be assessed through a variety of tools which include the traditional paper examination, group paper presentation and classroom engagement.
