Evaluation method and criteria
[Evaluation method]
Quizzes related to achievement goals 1-4 (10 points) and specific questions related to achievement goals 1-2 will be given in the mid-term exam (45 points). Specific questions related to achievement objectives 3-4 will be asked in the final examination and will be evaluated (45 points). Students will pass the course if they score 60 or more points on the quiz, mid-term exam, and final exam.

[Evaluation criteria]
The passing grade (60 points) will be determined by the student’s mastery of the knowledge of electronics measurement and treatment techniques in medical and biological sciences, together with an understanding of the complexity and sophistication of the structure and function of living organisms, through quizzes and mid-term and final examinations.
