Course Overview This course is conducted in English.
General Biology (I) is a foundational course for students in the Department of Biotechnology and serves as a prerequisite for more advanced courses in the field. The course content covers basic knowledge in chemical biology, cell biology, genetics, and molecular biology. * In the biochemistry section, the course introduces biological macromolecules and basic metabolic processes.
 * In cell biology, the focus is on organelle functions, signal transduction, and cell division.
 * In genetics, the course covers classical Mendelian genetics, Drosophila genetics, and modern genetics.
 * The molecular biology portion emphasizes transcription and translation within the central dogma, and extends to the introduction and application of biotechnology.
 II. Learning Objectives Upon successful completion of the course, students should be able to: 1. Establish foundational knowledge in the discipline: a. Describe the functions of biological macromolecules, basic metabolic processes, signal transduction pathways, cell division and the cell cycle, and regulatory mechanisms within the central dogma.
 b. Analyze genetic traits and calculate probabilities of trait inheritance.
 c. Differentiate the regulatory mechanisms of the central dogma between eukaryotes and prokaryotes.
 d. Evaluate ethical dilemmas in the application of biotechnology and propose solutions.
 2. Use English as a learning tool: a. Improve the ability to read English-language textbooks.
 b. Deliver class presentations in English.
 c. Write assignments and term reports in English.
 d. Use English scientific terminology.
 III. Learning Activities To achieve the learning objectives, the following activities will be implemented: 1. Instructor Lectures:
The instructor will deliver lectures based on the textbook and prepare teaching materials such as slides.
 2. Team-Based Learning:
Beginning from the portion taught by Professor Chao, students will participate in group activities. These include in-class group discussions, group presentations, group assignments, and a final written group report.
While students may use their native language for group discussions, all other activities will be primarily conducted in English, with the native language used only as a supplement.
 IV. Notes 1. To protect the enrollment rights of students in the Department of Biotechnology (including double majors, minors, and interdisciplinary program students), the number of spots will be limited to 20 during the first two enrollment phases. Additional enrollment will be opened during the third phase after the semester begins.
 2. This is a required foundational course for first-year students in the Department of Biotechnology. It will be taught and graded according to the standards for department majors.
 3. Students from other departments are welcome to take this course as a general education elective, providing them an opportunity to broaden their academic knowledge and engage in interdisciplinary learning and research. Students intending to take the course for general education credit should be prepared to attend class seriously and study diligently. Only those with such commitment should register.
 4. This course involves group activities and assignments. Students who are unwilling to participate responsibly in collaborative learning should not enroll. (Students who do not contribute to group activities will not receive grades for that component.)
 5. The last two-thirds of the semester will include weekly in-class group discussions. Students who prefer to study independently at home or who cannot attend class on time should not enroll.
 6. Course content and requirements may be adjusted based on enrollment size. The instructor reserves the right to modify course content and requirements after the semester begins. Students should pay attention to announcements and course materials at the beginning of the semester to stay informed of the latest updates.
