Class Objectives /Class Outline |
The objective of this class is to understand the basic microbiology; this is to understand diversity in microbial types, functions, through learning phylogeny, and microbial metabolism. Also, group work facilitates to gain deeper and wider knowledge on microbiology and its related issues such as medicine, environmental science and engineering, and biotechnology. |
Class Schedule |
Lesson1 Guidance, Introduction of microbiology, History of microbiology, introduction of final presentation and group work Lesson 2 Microbial cell structure and function, introduction of final presentation and choosing topic for the team Lesson 3 Evolutions of life focusing on microbes Lesson 4 Ribosomal RNA, Phylogeny and Classification lesson 5 Microbial diversity 1: Proteobacteria lesson6 Microbial diversity 2: Gram positive bacteria and others, Submission of inter-mid progress report and discussion (one-on-one) lesson7 Microbial diversity 3: Archaea lesson8 Metabolism 1: Photosynthesis lesson9 Metabolism 2: Chemoautotrophic bacteria lesson10 Metabolism 2: Anoxic respiration and elemental cycle lesson11 Final exam lesson12 Summary of the lecture and exam and introduction of cutting-edge research topics lesson13 Final presentation lesson14 Final presentation lesson15 Final presentation
Term-end will be implemented. Group work on searching the topics on microbiology, requires, 1) final presentation, 2) inter-mid progress report, and 2) report for planning. In addition, quiz or report will be assigned.
Students will evaluate other students’ presentation and their work each other at the final presentation. After lesson 15, lesson 16 will be held "introduction of cutting edge research topic in the field of microbiology". |

Message |
Each student will work on individual topic in the one group work subject. In this year, final exam (Lesson 12), final presentation (Lesson 13-15), introduction of final presentation (lesson 2), and submission of inter-mid progress report (Lesson 6) will be held as face-to-face at the room of 116. Other lecture will be held online. |
