Recently, we renovated the entrance examinations of the Department of Biosphere Sciences, due to the reduction of high school students and the diversity of them. However, the renovation might have reduced the chance to test scientific ability and knowledge of examinees. Therefore, we examined the percentage of students who completed chemistry and biology courses of high school in freshmen of the year 2005. Although only 19% were evaluated by the examination of chemistry and biology, more than 50% were assigned to science courses of high school. Furthermore, nearly 90% of them took basic courses of chemistry and biology. We also tested e-learning system, Blackboard, in several middle to large classes of biological sciences. Students joined e-learning class through intranet of college campus and through internet from their home, if incentives, such as percentage in the final score, were high. However, they were not familiar with Blackboard because of the small number of class involved in Blackboard. That is the problem of teachers who would not use Blackboard, because it needs much effort to start Blackboard class, at least for the beginning. In 2006, we will receive students who graduated from high school under "the new course of learning" which were blamed for its reduced learning material. Therefore, we have to prepare for them by trying every tools that is helpful for the remedial teaching.
