Assigned Department Objectives
Teaching Method
Outline:
General or Specialized : General
Field of learning : Common and basics of natural science
Required, Elective, etc. : Must complete subjects
Foundational academic disciplines : Biology I, Chemistry I
Relationship with Educational Objectives :
This class is equivalent to "(2) Acquire basic science and technical knowledge".
Relationship with JABEE programs :
The main goal of learning / education in this class is "(A), A-1"are involved.
Course outline :
Advances in life science in the latter half of the 20th century have made it possible to understand life phenomena at the genetic, molecular, and cellular levels. Biology has now become an indispensable academic field not only in the physical field but also as the basis of applied fields such as engineering, agriculture, and medicine. In this lecture, we will explain the application of biology.
Style:
Course method :
The main points will be explained while projecting materials such as figures and tables with a projector or explaining with a board. Timely, report assignments will be given according to the content of the lesson to 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, grade grades are simply averages of all results.
Notice:
Precautions on the enrollment:
Since this course is a must complete subjects, it is mandatory to take it (the number of absent hours is less than one-third of the prescribed number of class hours) to complete the course in the fourth grade.
Course advice:
Instead of memorize biotechnology methods and their application development, understand and acquire the mechanism as rooted in life phenomena.
Foundational subjects:
Biology I (1st year), Chemistry I (2nd year), Chemistry II (3rd year)
Related subjects:
Applied Chemistry (4th year)
Attendance advice:
Strictly adhere to the deadline 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.
