Study advice (preparation and review)
To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend a certain length of time outside of class on preparation and review (including for assignments), as specified by the Tokyo Institute of Technology Rules on Undergraduate Learning (東京工業大学学修規程) and the Tokyo Institute of Technology Rules on Graduate Learning (東京工業大学大学院学修規程), for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
Textbook(s)
Original text created by the the School of Life Science and Technology
Reference books, course materials, etc.
No reference book is specified.
Handouts will be distributed as needed.
Evaluation methods and criteria
The grade is evaluated by the attitude toward the experiment, the degree of skill of the experiment operation technique, and the experiment report.
