Assigned Department Objectives
Teaching Method
Outline:
General or Specialized : General
Field of learning : Commom and Basic natural science
Required, Elective, etc. : Must complete subjects
Foundational academic disciplines : Inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, organic chemistry
Relationship with Educational Objectives :
This clas is equivalent to (2) Acquire basic science and technical knowledge.
Relationship with JABEE programs :
The main goals of learning / education in this class is"(A)".
Course outline :
This course follows on from Chemistry I. It teaches basic knowledge for understanding various chemical phenomena. This course covers chemical bonds, organic compounds closely related to life, and properties of gases and solutions.
Style:
Course method :
Two credit hours per week, two consecutive periods, in principle, at each home room. The lectures are mainly board-based, but students are required to conduct chemical experiments as needed, summarize the results of the experiments, and submit reports on their observations. Students are required to submit reports and quizzes on basic problems as necessary.
Grade evaluation method :
The scores of the four regular examinations are evaluated equally (70%), and the quizzes, reports, and class attitudes are taken into account (30%). In principle, the first semester's grades are a simple average of the midterm grades and the grades are a simple average of all the results. Only a calculator is allowed to be taken into the test.
Those who have scored less than 60 points in the examination may be re-tested for a maximum score of 60. Follow the given instructions for re-taking a test.
Notice:
Precautions on the enrollment :
Students must take this class (no more than one-third of the required number of class hours may be missed) in order to complete the 3rd year course.
Course advice : Think about the phenomena that occur around you from the perspective of "matter". Learn to have an image of the structure of matter. Always ask questions, and try to solve the problems you don't understand. Don't rely on rote memorization; it is important to understand, not just to remember.
Related subjects : Chemistry I (2nd years), General Chemistry (3rd), Organic Chemistry I (4th), Organic Chemistry II (5th), Inorganic Chemistry (4th), Biochemistry (4th), Experiments in Chemistry (4th), Physical Chemistry (5th)
Attendance advice :
Students should memorize the basic items such as elemental symbols, chemical formulas, units of measure and so on, as instructed by the instructor. It is necessary to make an effort to develop the ability to apply the knowledge and understanding of the material, rather than relying on memory. Be sure to submit your reports on time and be consistent. If you are late for class, you will be considered absent after 15 minutes from the start of the class. Failure to attend a lecture may be counted as an absence.
