Review
By the time of class, I would like you to look at news and research on biotechnology programs and deepen your interest. After class, look back on your own opinions about the tasks that you gave during the lecture, and summarize your thoughts based on what you learned in class about new tasks. 
Requirements If you are not feeling well, do not force yourself to attend. If you are absent or absent due to poor physical condition, please read the materials and work on the assignment. 
Grading Method A total of 100 points will be evaluated based on the comprehensive evaluation of the submitted contents of hypothesis planning, basis building, verification methods, etc. for the tasks to be performed in the class, and the submitted contents of the tasks after the class, and a score of 60 or more will be passed. These allocations are for submission of assignments (50%) for assignments performed in class and submission of assignments after class (50%).  
Practical Experience Experienced  
Summary of Practical Experience and Class Contents based on it After joining Kirin Brewery Co., Ltd., I has been engaged in basic research on yeast and fermentation issues in beer production and has linked the results to the development of fermentation control technology. I will also explain the importance of the duties and roles necessary for working at a company, such as studying in the United States from a company, strategic planning work at the head office, beer brewing manager at a factory, etc.

 
Message When I was a student, I had a hard time imagining what kind of job I would have in the future and what kind of work I could contribute to society. While explaining my work experience at the company, I would like you to refer to what you can do at the company and how you have chosen the destination for your future career planning. 
Other In addition to knowledge and experience in biotechnology, I would like to introduce trivia and topics related to beer.  
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.
