Suggestions on
Preparation and
Review
Textbook for "Practice for Fundamental Biology" should be read before and after each experiment.
Report of each experiment should be prepared immediately after experiment.
Each report should include (1) purpose, (2) experimental procedures, (3) results and (4) discussions.
 
Requirements Students have to attend all experiments and any truancy is not allowed. 
Grading Method The grade will be evaluated by reports (80%) and attitude (20%). 
Practical Experience  
Summary of Practical Experience and Class Contents based on it  
Message Because each experiment may involve the use of hazardous materials, students need to pay enough attention to the experimental procedures. 
Other   
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.
