| Course description |
| This course provides students with the fundamental concepts and principles of biostatics. We lecture, at first, the phylogeny and taxonomy of life from the viewpoint of evolutionary history, and then, the morphology and physiology of the plants and animals, and discuss the amazing mechanisms of structure and function. We also comment on the relationship between those organisms and human life. |
| Expected Learning |
| Learners who successfully complete this course will be able to explain the taxonomy, morphology, and physiology of life from the viewpoints of phylogeny and comparative biology. |

| Prerequisites |
| This class is for the An students and some part of the En students. Students entering this course are assumed to have obtained the credit for TATⅠ "Biology". |
| Required Text(s) and Materials |
| The texts on Moodle2018 are based on the 8th and after editions of Campbell's "Biology". When purchasing a copy, the latest version (10th edition) is recommended. |
| References |
| Reference books are displayed at the TAT Recommended Books Corner in the Library. We may introduce you some references in our lectures. |
| Assessment/Grading |
| 80% (12/15) or more attendance at the class and 60 or more points in the examination are required to obtain credit. |
| Message from instructor(s) |
| With the help of Moodle2018 and Campbell's "Biology", please make an aggressive preparation and review of the class. We hope you, like a university student, to acquire a manner to learn by yourself. |
