Suggestions on
Preparation and
Review Be sure to organize the purpose of each experiment in advance and approach the experiment with a sense of purpose. There will be a report for each theme, so it is also essential to organize the data after the experiment. In order not to let the experiments you have done go to waste, please do not neglect your preparation and review.

Requirements Since experiments and practical training are meant to be experienced firsthand, absences are basically unacceptable. Please keep in mind that experiments and practical training often exceed the scheduled class time unless students prepare for them and conduct them efficiently. Please wear comfortable clothes, especially for experiments and practical training. Wearing sandals is strictly prohibited.

Grading Method Comprehensively evaluate the reports
