19	Objective of the Course:	The aim of the course is to make the students learn the pollen and spore morphology in the basic of palynology and to apply the information, they learn in basic palynology, to the fields of other related with the palynology. The goals of the course are to inform the pollen and spore to the students and to use in applying palynology.
