Teaching Method

Outline:

General or Specialized : Specialized

Field of learning : Chemistry/Biology

Foundational academic disciplines : Biology/Basic Biology, Life science

Relationship with Educational Objectives : This class is equivalent to (3) Acquire deep foundation knowledge of the major subject area

Relationship with JABEE programs : The main goals of learning / education in this class is "(A)"

Course outline : This course provides an in-depth understanding of the cell, which is the fundamental unit of life, and is based on recent developments in the life sciences field at the molecular level.

Style:

"Course method : Based on the textbook, use a projector to project materials such as figures and tables, or use the board to explain the main points. Students will submit timely reports based on the lecture. This is a semester-long course.

Grade evaluation method : The scores of the two regular examinations are evaluated equally (70%), and the quizzes and reports are added (30%). Basically, grades are a simple average of all results.

Notice:

Precautions on the enrollment : Students must take this class (no more than one-third of the required number of class hours may be missed in order to complete the 4th year course. This is a "class that requires study outside of class hours". Classes are offered for 15 hours per credit, but 30 credit hours are required in addition to this. Follow the instructions of your instructor for these extra studies.

Course advice : We want students to understand the mechanisms of individual events and acquire knowledge of cells, not merely memorize textual information.

Foundational subjects : Biology I (1st year), Chemistry I (2nd), Chemistry II (3rd), Experiments in Science(2nd), General Biology (2nd year), Molecular Biology (3rd year)

Related subjects : Applied Biology (4th year), Developmental Biology (4th), Experiments in Biology (4th), Biochemistry (4th), Cell Biology (4th), Biointomaties (5th)

Attendance advice : Strictly adhere to the deadline for report assignments. If you are late for class, you will be considered absent after half the class time. If you have any questions about the lecture or related topics, we encourage you to ask to deepen your understanding.
