| OSAKA UNIVERSITY SHORT-TERM STUDENT EXCHANGE PROGRAM _ |
Satoru KAWAMURA, et al. (Graduate School of Science)
Objective
Biology has been developing at an enormous speed in recent years, and the field
of interest has been expanding from basic classics to rather applied subjects
that cover biochemical, bioengineering, and biomedical aspects of life. It is
not a mere exaggeration to state that the coming century is the century of biology.
Biology, under these ever-changing circumstances, has become more categorized
and specialized to meet the needs of every aspect of our society. Consequently,
it has become a subject full of unfamiliar terminology, concepts, and so on,
for most students. In this course, 15 to 20 professors of the biology department
of the faculty of science will give lectures, so that you will be exposed to
a wide spectrum of today's biology. The topics will be selected and arranged
so that the course will have sufficient coherence when it finishes. Lectures
will focus on topics of biology closely related to our everyday life.
Textbooks
No particular textbooks will be assigned.
Lecture Schedule
Weeks 1-3 The world of plants
