An Outline of General Biology Teaching Course Code: 0818531052
Total Teaching Hour: 32
Credit: 2
Course Type: elective
Major: Bioengineering
Preparatory Courses: Inorganic Chemistry, Organic chemistry, Biochemistry
Teaching aim and demand：
General Biology is a basic course designed for students in majoring in the diverse fields of biological science such as forestry, animal science, biotechnology, and bioengineering. It included the basic knowledge and laws in biological science. To ensure that students have a broad exposure to and background in biology, we put great emphasis on fundamental principles and current research efforts and trends in biology. We attempt to introduce the milestones in life science and to bring the interest of life science research into university classroom by studying it, and then will provide the underlying basis for farther learning in this major.
Methods in teaching
The course is mainly of classroom teaching supplied by multimedia teaching and some demonstrations. Some chapters except for some key parts will be taught by teachers or by students themselves. After class the students will be asked to finish homework needed. The bi-lingual teaching will be in progress step by step.
Explanation:
This outline is designed for students who are major in Biochemical Science and Technology. Due the students taking this course are expected to have taken preparatory courses as compulsory course, Inorganic Chemistry, organic chemistry, analysis chemistry, and Biology in senior high school .
