Requirements Understanding the vast amount of knowledge related to Biological Responses (bacteriology, virology, pharmacology, immunology, and parasitology) solely through textbooks and reference materials is exceptionally challenging. This lecture provides a structured overview of key points, and attendance is strongly recommended. Given the systematic nature of this course, even a single absence can significantly impact comprehension of subsequent topics. Therefore, preparation and review are essential for a deeper understanding of the lecture content.
Scientific knowledge is constantly evolving, and students should always refer to the latest textbooks and reference materials. A proactive approach to learning is expected. Questions are welcome at any time, so do not hesitate to ask. Additionally, students are encouraged to freely visit the research laboratory and engage in research activities to enhance their learning experience. 
Grading Method The final grade for Biological Responses will be determined based on the average score of the individual courses in pharmacology, microbiology (bacteriology and virology), and immunology (immunology and parasitology). However, if a student fails any one of these subjects (units), they will be considered to have failed the entire 12-credit Biological Responses course and will be required to retake the entire course in the following academic year.
