Course Description

This course is an omnibus style lecture, and will be presented by each professor in the department of biosciences. The topics are covered in this course include subjects of biosciences as well as those of environmental sciences and chemistry. Since this course provides students with the individual research themselves of the professors, it will be helpful selecting the graduation research. Therefore, this course, students must attend all lectures.
Please check the schedule before the beginning of the course.

Course Objectives

The major aim of this course is to present an opportunity for students to obtain a basic knowledge of every branch of the biosciences. Upon successful completion of this course, students will have gained a fundamental understanding of biosciences.

Grading Policy

Each instructor asks for submission of an assignment such as an exam and a report every time. Evaluate based on the total. Final test will not be conducted.
