Assigned Department Objectives
Teaching Method
Outline:
General or Specialized : Specialized
Field of learning : Biology
Foundational academic disciplines : Biology/Life science
Relationship with Educational Objectives :
This class is equivalent to "(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".
Course outline :
Biochemistry is a fusion of biology and chemistry. Outline the structure and function of chemical substances in the living body. In addition, their synthetic pathways will be described.
Style:
Course method :
In line with the textbook, the main points will be explained while projecting materials such as figures and tables with a projector or explaining with a board. In a timely manner, issue report assignments that match the content of the lesson, and encourage review and self-study. This course is a single semester course.
Grade evaluation method :
The scores of the two regular exams are evaluated equally (50%), and the quizzes, reports, and class attitudes up to each regular exam are added to this (50%) and evaluated each time. Textbooks and notebooks are not allowed for the exam.
Notice:
Precautions on the enrollment :
This subject is a "subject that requires study outside of class hours". Classes are offered for 15 credit hours per credit, but 30 credit hours are required in addition to this. Follow the instructions of your instructor for these studies.
Course advice :
Instead of memorize the knowledge of living things, understand and acquire the mechanism of life phenomena
Foundational subjects : Biology I (1st year) Chemistry I (2nd year), Chemistry II (3rd year), Experiments in Science (2nd year), General Biology (2nd year), Molecular Biology (3rd year)
Related subjects : Organic Chemistry I (4th year), Organic Chemistry II (5th year), Applied Biology (4th year), Developmental Biology (4th year), Experiments in Biology (4th year), Cell Biology (4th year), Bioinformatics (5th 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.
