| Outline and Purpose of the Course | Students plan and conduct one's research on insect behavioral physiology under the supervision of advisers, which additionally requires versatile disciplines such as in neurophysiology, analytical chemistry and system engineering according to the cues that subjects use. | ||
| Course Goals | Gain proficiency in various experimental techniques used in the study of insect behavioral physiology, and develop the ability to conduct original, independent research. | ||
| Schedule and Contents | Engage in research to explain insect behavior and the sensory reception and information processing mechanisms related to behavioral manifestation from the perspectives of behavioral physiology, neuroethology, and organic chemistry of bioactive compounds. Under the supervision and advice of faculty members, students will learn how to select a research topic, propose a hypothesis, develop an experiment plan, and examine the hypothesis. Students will also gain proficiency in basic experimental techniques. (30 sessions per year) | ||
| Evaluation Methods and Policy | Grading will be based on an overall assessment of the student’s commitment to research projects and results obtained. | ||
| Course Requirements | No background knowledge is required. | ||
| Study outside of Class (preparation and review) | Students are expected to preview and review materials to resolve issues they encounter as they make progress in their research. | ||
