Course Description
The objective of this course is to teach the basic concepts and experimental skills in microbiology to biology-related major students in School of Life Science and Biotechnology, SJTU. After this semester, you should be able to develop a sound understanding of and a good appreciation for the microbiological world. I believe that the whole training for a biology-related major student is all about how to help him learn to think and communicate in molecular and cellular terms. Microorganisms are the most diversified and interesting to study. Microbiology is one of the most active and promising field in life sciences. I will try to integrate the most classical and basic ideas, theories, and concepts with the most recent advances in microbiology, which are so exciting and full of fun to know about. This course will be taught in English. I will do my best to help you develop skills in learning biological science matters. Thus, learning to learn is another objective of this course.
