課程概述 |
1. 「科學研究計畫管理實務 (Project Management in Science: Practical Approaches)」之前身為 「進階科學研究計畫管理 (Advanced Project Management for Laboratory Scientists)」，旨在培養同學們規劃與執行科學研究計畫時，應具備之實務能力。該課程自 2013 年 2 月 (101 學年第 2 學期) 開授，以中文授課，迄今已逾十年，獲高度肯定。同學們咸認為對科學研究頗有實質之助益。
2. 為提升同學之英文溝通、表達能力，希冀於本課程通過後，改以英文授課。課程名稱之修改，乃回應同學之教學意見反映，使課名與課程內容更為相符。
3. 課程綱要請參閱課程進度之「單元主題」(最後一頁)。
4. 課程重視討論，題材活潑實用；基本安排：前半段導讀文獻重點與講解研究實務，後半段著重個案輔導、心得發表、自由提問。
5. 無須擔心英文能力問題，會盡力幫助同學聽得懂。
1. The predecessor of "Project Management in Science: Practical Approaches" was "Advanced Project Management for Laboratory Scientists," aiming to cultivate practical abilities in planning and executing scientific research projects. The course has been offered since February 2013 (2nd semester of the 101 academic year), conducted in Chinese, and has received high recognition over the past decade. Students widely acknowledge its substantial contribution to scientific research.
2. In order to enhance students' English communication and expression skills, it is hoped that after completing this course, it will be conducted in English. The modification of the course name is a response to students' feedback, aligning the course title more closely with its content.
3. For the course outline, please refer to the "Unit Topics" in the course schedule (last page).
4. The course emphasizes discussions with lively and practical topics. The basic structure includes: in the first half, focusing on reading and explaining key literature and discussing research practices; in the second half, emphasizing case guidance, sharing insights, and allowing for free questions.
5. No need to worry about English proficiency issues; I will do my best to help students understand. |
