| １． |
Outline |
|
This course is an introductory lecture which is the basis for studying life science at university. The two major topics to be discussed are (1) the diversity and uniformity of life, and (2) the basic unit of life "cells". In this course, we will also refer to (3) the relationship between biology and other fields.
|
| ２． |
Objectives |
|
By learning this course, you will be able to master the fundamentals of modern life science from the viewpoint of molecular biology and acquire basic knowledge that leads to learning specialized subjects.
|
| ３． |
Grading Policy |
|
(1) The enrollment qualification for final exams shall be at least 2/3 attendance.
(2) Half of the term exam questions will be selected from the exercises in the textbook chapters. The other half will be a description problem.
(3) The final grade is calculated by adding the evaluation of the short report to the result of the final exam. That proportion will be 70 points for the exam and 30 points for the report point.

Shinji Uemura (translated) "Cain Basic Biology" Tokyo Kagaku Dojin
|
| ５． |
Requirements (Assignments) |
|
Students should prepare by using textbooks and come to the lecture. In addition, students are expected to deepen their understanding by practicing problems at the end of each chapter of the textbook after the classes.
