The Chemistry course consists of 6 chapters, including 50 theory hours and 10 practical hours. The theoretical part equips students with basic knowledge about stoichiometry, factors affecting chemical balance; applying the interpretation of the transition of reversible reactions; reaction rate and influencing factors. At the same time, it provides basic concepts and basic knowledge about solutions. Research on composition and content of surveyed samples: qualitative and quantitative analysis, determination of structure, evaluation of results and product quality, separation, division, cleaning, preparation of compounds super pure…etc.
The practical part equips students with some basic rules in the laboratory; studying experiments on the influence of factors on chemical balance, reaction rate, interpretation and application in practice; practicing to determin the pH value of some common solutions; Researching on titration experiments, determining the content of analytical samples.
7.6. Biology – 3 credits
1. Theoretical part: Biology is a compulsory course of basic knowledge for first-year students at University of Agricultrure and Forestry - Thai Nguyen University. It equips students with basic knowledge of life sciences: From biological macromolecules: Proteins, Lipids, Glucose, Nucleic Acid... to higher levels of organization of life: cells, tissues, organs, bodies. Besides, it also equips students with knowledge about the processes and basic characteristics of a living organism: metabolism, reproduction, growth and development, induction and adaptation. Biology also provides a holistic view of the evolution of all living things on earth, the general evolution of plants and animals, evolutionary theories, evolutionary evidence, and the pathways of formation into a new species.
In addition, the Biology course also equips students with knowledge about the application of Biology in the fields of expertise for the Crop Science major:
Application of biology in selection, breeding and propagation of genetically modified plants.
Application of bio-products in the prevention of plant pests and diseases, production of bio-organic fertilizers, microbial organic fertilizers, soil improvement, plant protection drugs, treatment of agricultural products...
2. Practical part: The practical exercises in the Biology course guide learners on the method of using a microscope, the method of making a specimen to observe. At the same time, students can directly observe some types of cells, internal structures of cells, structures of reproductive organs of organisms.
