Class Objectives
/Class Outline Animal and life science course:
Students are divided into the group of three or four people. Each group carries out various experiments in the animal and life science.  Students will perform a presentation on the last day.  Students will learn the various methods of documents investigation, the plan drafting, the enforcement of the study, the consideration of results, the discussion, and the presentation.
Plant science course:
Students join field observation in spring, intensive course in summer, and some classes in every two week.  Students will learn the basic for biological science and skills for presentation and how to make reports.  Implementing program-based learning through discussions and presentations.
