| Course Description | 本 EMI 課程將探討植物生長調節劑（plant growth regulators, PGRs）與生物刺激素（biostimulants），聚焦其研究發展與農業應用。課程將以植物生理與分子生物學的整合理解為基礎，強調與生產現場高度相關的實務面向。同時，本課程亦將介紹 PGR 與生物刺激素產業的產品生產、行銷模式，以及目前研發與應用趨勢。修習本課程後，學生將能掌握 PGR 與生物刺激素於農業上的實際運用要點，並對相關產業具備更全面的理解與視野。 This EMI course will explore plant growth regulators (PGR) and biostimulants, focusing on their research and agricultural applications. The course will emphasize practical aspects rooted in a comprehensive understanding of plant physiology and molecular biology. Additionally, we will examine the production, marketing, and current trends in research and development within the PGR and biostimulant industries. By the end of the course, students will have gained valuable insights into the practical utilization of PGR and biostimulants in agriculture, as well as a broader understanding of the associated industries. |

| 1. 帶回作答之期中與期末考（30% + 30%） 本課程的兩次考試合計占期末總成績 60%。考試將以短答、申論與問題導向討論等形式，評量學生對近期授課內容的理解與整合能力。考試期間允許開書查閱資料（open-book），但所有作答必須獨立完成。學生可選擇以英文或中文作答。 2. 5 分鐘口頭報告（20%） 口頭報告旨在喚起學生與自然連結的敏感度，並在英語表達中建立自信、展現自我。透過公開口語呈現，鼓勵學生相信自身能力並體會有效溝通的力量。授課教師將依內容、架構、回應提問能力與英文發音清晰度進行評分。評量重點以想法的內容深度、組織與表達呈現為主，語速與口音不作為主要評分依據。 3. 作業（20%） 學期中將安排 2 次問題解決型作業，每次 10 分。作業設計目的在於讓學生將所學知識與技能應用於實務情境中的問題解決。作答時可參考個人筆記、課堂投影片及相關資料，但除非授課教師明確允許，所有作業原則上需獨立完成。作業可選擇以英文或中文作答。 1.Take-home Mid-term and Final Exams (30%+30%) The two exams in this course will collectively account for 60% of the final grade. These exams will assess students’ understanding of the most recent lecture material through short-answer and long-answer questions and problem-solving discussions. Open-book referencing will be permitted during the exams; however, it is expected that all work is completed independently. Students have the option to answer the exam questions in either English or Chinese. 2.5 min Oral Presentation (20%) The oral presentation component of the course aims to awaken the innate connection between nature and confident self-expression in English. This opportunity to showcase your abilities in a public speaking encourages you to believe in your capabilities and embrace the power of effective communication. The instructor will evaluate the presentation based on its content, structure, the ability to address questions, and English pronunciation. While the evaluation acknowledges the importance of clear speech and pronunciation, the emphasis lies on the content, organization, and delivery of ideas rather than speech speed or accent. 3.Assignments (20%) There will be two problem-solving assignments throughout the semester, each worth 10 points. These assignments will allow students to apply their knowledge and skills to solve practical problems. While completing the assignments, students can refer to their personal notes, slides, and other relevant reference materials. However, it is important to note that all work must be completed independently unless the instructor explicitly grants permission for collaboration on specific course tasks. Students can answer the assignments in English or Chinese, catering to their preferred language of expression. |
