此課程主要針對本系作物組碩班學生開設。 課程針對研究及論文撰寫做剖析。特選之技術除了會在課堂上討論之外，實習部分也包含在本課程內，因為實習課是設計用來加強正課的內容，並提供學生實驗與第一手的經驗。

This course is primarily for horticulture master students. Fundamental principles of doing research and writing thesis are studied. Selected experimental techniques are also discussed. Lab section is included in this course, because the lab work is designed to reinforce the lecture material by giving students an opportunity to do experiments and their parts firsthand.
