| Message |
This class is mainly held for Japanese students who only have the knowledge of biology with high school level, and who are not used to reading scientific English.
Thus, it may be unsuitable for students who have been educated biology in English. However, foreign students who want to study biological terms in Japanese may be available partly. |
| Other |
The class may be held on Microsoft Teams depending on the epidemic situation of COVID-19 and influenzas. |
Please fill in the class improvement questionnaire which is carried out on all classes.
Instructors will reflect on your feedback and utilize the information for improving their teaching. |
