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.
