Course description and aims

Bachelor's thesis research is the culmination of undergraduate education. The L1 seminar of life science course serves as a prelude to starting work on bachelor's thesis research, in which each student reaffirms their research interests, with the primary goal of providing information on joining a laboratory. The instructors will teach students about how to explore research topics, experiment design, and how to evaluate their findings by introducing students to the research of each instructor. In addition, the instructor will motivate students to pursue truth through research and to contribute to society through life science.

Student learning outcomes

By the course, students will acquire the following knowledge:
1) Research interests of each instructor
2) How to create a novel research topic
3) Designing a research process
4) Trends in related fields
5) Evaluation of experimental results

Keywords

Creation, design, and methodology of research topics

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

Instructors from the Life Science course will be in charge of each class, where they will introduce in connection with their research the details of deciding on a topic, trends in related fields, research techniques, and the potential of the research. Students will deepen their understanding of each research topic by deciding on and solving problems as needed.
