This course aims at learning principles and methods for basic experiments in physical chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology, which are required for conducting research in the laboratory.
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Conduct basic biological experiments required for research in the laboratory.
2) Solve problems when in trouble with basic biological experiments.
3) Describe the aim, results, and discussion of biological experiments clearly
Physical chemistry, Organic chemistry, Biochemistry, Molecular biology
✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | ✔ Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Students start experiments after the guidance on the flow of the experiments in the first ~30 min in each class.
Course schedule | Required learning | |
---|---|---|
Class 1 | Students are divided to 4 groups, and take 2 of the 4 experiments (i.e., physical chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology) which were not taken in Advanced Life Science Laboratory I. For each experiment, students perform 4 projects (3 classes for each). | Students must be able to perform basic experiments in physical chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology, which are required for conducting research in the laboratory. |
An original textbook edited by the School of Life Science and Technology
Handouts will be distributed as necessary.
Experimental training (40%), report (60%)
Students must have successfully completed Basic Bioscience Laboratory I and II.
