Assigned Department Objectives

Teaching Method

Outline:
General or Specialized : Specialized
Field of learning : Biology
Required, Elective, etc. : Elective Program subjects
Foundational academic disciplines : Biology / Basic Biology / Life Sciences
Relationship with Educational Objectives : This subject corresponds to the academic objectives of the Department of Comprehensive Science and Engineering, "(2) Acquire basic science and technical knowledge" and "(3) Acquire deep foundation knowledge of the major subject area".
Relationship with JABEE programs : The main learning / educational goal of this subject is "(A) Deepening of basic knowledge about technology".
Course outline : Trying to understand life information as an electrical signal between cells Trying to understand it as a language of bioinformatics and genetic code
I will explain it from the two aspects of bioinformatics.
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 : The scores of the two regular exams are evaluated equally (70%), and the quizzes, reports, and class attitudes up to each regular exam are added to this (30%) and evaluated each time. As a general rule, the first semester grades and intermediate grades are a simple average of all results. Textbooks and notebooks cannot be used for exams.
Notice:
Precautions for taking this course: 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 grade.
Mandatory.
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) General biology (2), Molecular biology (3), Applied biology (4), Developmental biology (4), Biology experiment (4), Biochemistry (4), Cell biology (4)
Related subjects: Chemistry I (2nd year), Chemistry II (3rd), Experiments in Science (2nd), General Biology (2nd),
Molecular Biology (3th), Applied Biology (4th), Developmental Biology (4th), Experiments in Biology (4th), Biochemistry (4th), Cell Biology (4th), Bioinfomatics(5th)
Attendance advice : Adhere 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 feel free to ask questions and deepen your understanding.
