Assigned Department Objectives
Teaching Method
Outline:
General or Specialized : specialized
Field of learning : Biology
Required, Elective, etc. : Must complete subjects
Foundational academic disciplines : Biology / Basic Biology
Relationship with Educational Objectives : This subject is the academic objectives of the Department of Comprehensive Science and Engineering "(1) Cultivate human creative talent, rich in practical abilities", "(2) Acquire basic science and technical knowledge" and "(3) Acquire deep foundation knowledge of the major subject area".
Relationship with JABEE programs : The main goals of learning / educational goal of this class is "(A) ".
Course outline : Advances in molecular biology in the latter half of the 20th century have led to the development of biology to capture life phenomena at the genetic, molecular, and cellular levels. This lecture outlines biology.
Style:
Course method : Explain the main points while projecting materials such as figures and tables with a projector or explaining with a board according to the textbook. In a timely manner, issue report assignments that match the content of the lesson, and encourage review and self-study.
Grade evaluation method: Equally evaluate the scores of each of the four regular exams (70%), and add the quizzes, reports, and class attitudes up to each regular exam to this (30%), and evaluate each time. As a general rule, the first semester grades are intermediate grades and the grades are a simple average of all results. Textbooks and notebooks cannot be used for exams.
Notice:
Precautions on the enrollment : Since this course is a compulsory course, it is necessary to take it (the number of absent hours is less than one-third of the prescribed number of class hours) at the end of the second year.
Course advice : Instead of memorizing the knowledge of living things, I want you to understand and acquire the mechanism of life phenomena.
Foundational subjects : Biology I (1st year)
Related subjects : Chemistry I (2nd years), Chemistry II (3rd), Experiments in Science (2nd), General Biology (2nd),
Molecular Biology (3rd), Applied Biology (4th), Developmental Biology (4th), Biology Experiments (4th), Biochemistry (4th), Cell Biology (4th), Bio intermaties (5th)
Attendance advice : Adhering to deadlines for report assignments. Late arrivals will be treated as absent after half the class time has passed. If you have any questions about the lecture or anything related to it, please actively ask questions and deepen your understanding.
