| Course description |
| This course is the core subject of master's thesis. Through this course, students conduct experiments related to master's thesis, achieve research results in each special field, and acquire research promotion ability based on biological control science and plant protection science. Actively analyze and discuss the results, deliberate representation methods, study the research results and evaluate its relevance, actively increase research capabilities. This course will be conducted under the guidance of the main supervisor. |
| Expected Learning |
|
Students are required to understand scientific logic on biological control science and plant protection science and have fundamental knowledge and application which is essential for exploring the subjects. With respect to the research ethics, students will compile and publish the research results and investigation by themselves. Also, with high level of professional competence, students will have wide view insightful perspective on social issues related to plant protection.
