Course description and aims

In this course, students proceed with a project given by their instructors. Students learn practical experimental techniques to pursue the project, as well as the underlying principles. In addition, students learn how to record the methods and results of experiments and understand the importance of experimental data as intellectual properties. Through these activities, students also learn ethics in scientific research.

Directed Laboratory Works in Biological Information I and II play central roles in the curricula of the department together with Biological Information Lab Work I, II, III, and IV. Students should actively learn these courses.

Students need to enroll Directed Laboratory Works in Biological Information I and II in this order.

Student learning outcomes

Students will acquire the following abilities in stages by completing Directed Laboratory Works in Biological Information I and II:
1. acquire practical experimental techniques in life science.
2. understand the principles underlying those techniques.
3. record materials, methods and results in laboratory notebooks in a proper manner.
4. make short- and mid-term experiment plans to pursue the long-term project.
