Course description
This course course will be conducted experiments on organic chemistry, microbiology and biochemistry.
Students learn procedures of synthetic methods for chemical compounds to develop understanding of classes of "Organic chemistry I" and "Organic Chemistry II".This class include how to treat reagents, organic solvents, and glass items for organic synthesis as well as purification and determination of chemical structure.
n the experiments on microbiology, students learn basic experimental methods such as culturing and morphological observation of microorganisms, and experience what they have learned in the lectures of specialized subjects to acquire theory as knowledge through experience and build a foundation for further study.
Biochemistry experiments are conducted through the accurate measurement of vitamins in foods and the calculation of the hardness of water around the world. In this study, students will master biochemistry experiments and analytical techniques other than biological experiments, such as fluorescence measurement and the use of burette.
Purpose of class
Students will deepen their understanding of the reactivity and reaction mechanisms of organic compounds, microorganisms, genetic engineering, and analytical techniques essential to biochemistry through experiments.
Goals and objectives
  1. Further understanding of organic chemistry through the experiments.
  2. To master procedure of organic synthesis.
  3. To understand how to write a report.
  4. Learn how to handle microorganisms.
  5. To learn the basics of genetic engineering and and biochemical analysis be able to practice it.

Evaluation method and criteria
In organic chemistry experiments, students will be evaluated on the basis of their reports, laboratory notebooks, and attitude toward practical work. In microbiology experiments, students will be further evaluated by examinations (oral and practical).
In the biochemistry experiment, the report (80 points) and the experiment notebook (20 points) will be evaluated based on the student's attitude towards the practical training, and a total of 60 points out of 100 points is required to pass. The 60 points in this experiment is the level of report that can be written after doing the preparation and attending the experiment to the end.
Feedback on exams, assignments, etc.

Textbooks and reference materials
Students are required to bring their own printed copy of the laboratory manual (PDF file).
Prerequisites
Students should review Organic Chemistry I and II and Microbiology, biochemistry.
