(Applicable only to targeted subjects for undergraduate students) Biology
（Abilities and Skills）
・Based on basic knowledge which is already acquired, to obtain the following experimental skills in order to practice research: 1) Basic observation skills and skills to manage experiments. 2) Ability to record observed natural phenomena. 3) Ability to collect and assess data.

Class Objectives
/Class Outline In this class, students will have the opportunity to observe the entire developmental stages of marine animals with their own eyes and to come into direct contact with various marine animals in their actual habitats. Based on these experiences, students will aim to acquire an attitude of understanding biological phenomena from multiple perspectives, while focusing on development, a phenomenon that embodies biodiversity, as an example.

Class Schedule A combination of face-to-face training and online presentations will be held.
Face-to-face training:
3 days total in spring and summer (with overnight stay).
1. Observation of marine animal development.
2. Observing and collecting marine animals on uninhabited islands, mainly in the intertidal zone.
3. Identification of observed and collected marine animals
Outdoor activities may be canceled due to weather, etc.

Online presentation:
Each participant presents the results of analysis, etc., conducted in the marine course and has discussions.

Suggestions on
Preparation and
Review It is recommended to read general books and illustrated encyclopedias on the occurrence of marine animals, animal diversity, and phylogenetic classification as reference books. If you are notified of report assignments before the training, please prepare sufficiently for them before participating in the training.

Requirements The capacity for participants is approximately 24 people. To register for the course, please follow the notice posted in the biological science office.

Participants are responsible for their own transportation costs to the Marine Biological Laboratory in Mukaishima-cho, Onomichi City, where the face-to-face training will be held, as well as food expenses during their stay at the laboratory.

If you have any allergies other than food or drink to food or specific organisms, or any other peculiarities, please contact us in advance. Please note that due to the circumstances of the place where the meal is ordered, it is not possible to specify or change the ingredients.

The data, assignments, and all that collected, created, and submitted by the students in relation to the class may be used and published as teaching materials for the Hiroshima University in the future. Please note that when you submit your request to take this class, we will treat it as your agreement to the above.

Grading Method A grading will be given by evaluating practical attitude and report, presentation, comprehensively.
