Outline:
General or Specialized : Specialized
Fields of learning : Experiments, practical training, etc.
Required, Elective, etc. : Required
Foundational academic disciplines : Mathematical science / physics / general physics, chemistry / inorganic / organic chemistry, biology / basic biology
Relationship with Educational Objectives : This subject is equivalent to "(3) Acquire deep foundation knowledge of the major subject area" and "(6) Develop problem solving ability".
Relationship with JABEE programs : The main goal of this subject is "(A) Deepening of basic knowledge about technology".
Course outline : Learn the basics of observation, measurement, and data processing methods through basic experiments in science (physics, chemistry, and biology).
Style:
Course method : The whole year is divided into three periods to work on physics, chemistry, and biology experiments. In the experiment, everyone will carry out the same theme at the same time. Divide into groups of 5 to 6 people to work on the experiment. Guidance will guide you on themes and weekly allocations.
Grade evaluation method : In the report submitted on the experimental theme, evaluate the data processing, conclusion derivation assumptions, and how to proceed with the consideration, and score on a scale of 100 points, and the average is the final grade. The evaluation criteria of the report will be presented in rubrics at the time of guidance, so please refer to it.
Notice:
Attendance advice : Be careful not to experiment or observe as a mere task. In order to improve the learning effect, it is necessary to fully learn the purpose of the experiment in advance. Simulate the experimental procedure in your head before conducting the experiment. Treat as absent when 1/3 of the class time has passed.
