Achievement 2	Be able to perform experiments in inorganic/analytical chemistry with certainty and accuracy and prepare reports with correct text.	Be able to perform experiments in inorganic and analytical chemistry and prepare reports with correct sentences.	The student cannot write a report at the minimum level.
Achievement 3	Be able to perform synthesis, purification and structural analysis of typical organic chemical reactions, and write a report based on the results obtained in a correct manner.	Be able to follow the example of synthesis, purification and structural analysis of typical organic reactions, and write a report with correct text based on the results obtained.	The student cannot write a report at the minimum level.

Teaching Method

Outline:

Basic experiments in physical chemistry, inorganic/analytical chemistry, and organic chemistry are conducted, and students are required to organize and analyze the results of these experiments and to write a report on them.

Style:

Students are divided into groups on the themes presented in the class. Students must take turns to complete the experiments in turn.

Notice:

This is a compulsory subject. Students must complete the course (absent for less than 1/5 of the scheduled class hours) and acquire credits to complete the course.
