Evaluation Methods and Policy 【Assessment method】
Assessment is based on the end-of-semester exam (80%) and attitude (attendance, mini test scores, etc.) (20%).
【Assessment criteria】
Assessment criteria and policy are drawn from "Assessment criteria and policy" in the current version of the Faculty of Agriculture Student Handbook.
Course Requirements It is advisable that students take Food Basic Molecular Biology II as well.
Study outside of Class (preparation and review) In each class, the preparations that are to be made for the following class will be announced.
