Through lecture and discussion series, students acquire knowledge and creativity to set proper research objective, select appropriate methodology, understand the significance of results, and to further design following experiments independently, concerning Infection Biology.
In additions, students also learn and confirm general knowledge underlying each specific subjects.
Class meets every week. Topics to be discussed will be selected by students. Points to be learned include:
How to select papers.
Histrical background and creativity of good scientific papers.
Structure of scientific papers.
How to interpretate the results.
Logical flow in scientific papers.
1. Bacterial cultivation
2. Phage preparation and transduction.
3. PCR and quantitative PCR methods
4. Construction of recombinant genes, sub-cloning, and DNA sequencing.
5. Protein purification.
6. Western blotting assay

Grading Criteria
- Good achieved under supervision in the SBOs 1 and 2: Pass (C).
- Good achieved under supervision in the SBOs 1 - 3, and actively conducted SBO 4: Pass (B).
SBOs 1 - 3 will be evaluated based on a brief report in terms of presentation and dicsussion.
- Excellent achievement in SBOs 1-4, and good achievement in SBOs 5-7: (A)
- Outstanding achievement with enough evidence in all SBOs : Pass (A+)
- Good achieved in the SBOs 1 and 2: Pass (C).
- Good achieved in the SBOs 1 - 2, and actively conducted SBO 3: Pass (B).
Based on written summary of papers (A4 1 page, twice a month). good achievement including SBO 4 is confirmed,: Pass (A).
- Outstanding achievement with enough evidence in all SBOs : Pass (A+)
Understanding of results, and ability to design next experiments will be evaluated by experimental notebook and discussion （50%）
A+: Superior (more than 90: top 10%)
A: Excellent (80-89: upper 20%)
B: Good (70-79)
C: Average (60-69)
D: Failure (less than 60)
Learning method
