If there are 4 or more reports (including those not submitted) that are below the acceptable level, the student will fail to pass. Even if there are fewer than 3 reports that are below the acceptable level, if the student's degree of comprehension of the lesson does not meet the syllabus standards, the student will fail to pass. The evaluation criteria and level of achievement will be based on the "Evaluation Criteria and Level of Achievement" section of the student handbook of the Faculty of Agriculture for the relevant year. | |||
| Course Requirements | None | |||
| Study outside of Class (preparation and review) | Preparation is difficult because each week the content will be related to a different academic field. Therefore, please place emphasis on reviewing and deepening your understanding of research fields based on the information covered by the lectures. This will also be helpful when selecting research areas in the near future. | |||
| Textbooks | Textbooks/References | Lecture materials will be distributed as necessary during class. | ||
