1. The number of students in this course has been about 60 in each semester in the past. In addition to the students from the College of Life Science, there are more and more students from other colleges taking this course. These cross-field students with different expertise could potentially introduce new insights into this animal behavior study for future research or applications.

2. In addition to the teaching of knowledge, each student in this course needs to write a one research proposal at the end of the semester. Students have to independently explore research directions, review literature, find topics and design experiments. This assignment will provide students opportunities to experience the process of scientific research, which could be applied to future research in animal behavior or even other scientific fields.

3. Tsinghua University offers many behavior-related professional courses. Through the introduction of this course, students could have some basic understandings of animal behaviors, and can continue to choose the direction of interest for more in-depth study for future career development in different fields. For example, students who are interested in behavioral neuroscience can continue studying behavioral neuroscience offered by institute of systems neuroscience, and may have the future opportunity in biomedical or pharmaceutical companies. Students who are interested in behavioral ecology can continue to study the behavioral ecology course offered by General Education Center and engage in ecological conservation related work in the future.
