Course Objective

While doing research on the biochemistry within the scope of this course, students create a hypothesis, doing literature research evaluation, choosing research methods
suitable for the purpose, the original value, widespread impact, feasibility, planning and budget, and to make assessment of the results achieved by evaluating the article,
the project aims to transform the report.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   The student will be able to knowledgeable and discuss the about research methods
2   Create and use hypothesis about a biochemical subject and verify the hypothesis by choosing necessary biochemical research methods
3   Make a survey of the literature on a biochemistry subject and interpret the results
4   Select an appropriate research method in a biochemistry subject in the research purpose, research the original value, common impact, feasibility, planning and budgeting for evaluating
5   Convert article, project, report, as a biochemical results obtained in a survey.
