Teaching Method

Outline:

Microorganisms exist in our daily lives and are deeply involved in our daily lives. This course aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of microorganisms by studying their biological (classification, cell structure, metabolism, and genetics) and applied aspects.

Style:

Classes are conducted with quizzes to confirm preparatory studies and presentations by students [30 hours of class time + 60 hours of self-study time].
