Assigned Department Objectives
Teaching Method
Outline:
General or Specialized : Specialized
Required, Elective, etc. : Must complete subjects
Foundational academic disciplines : Inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, organic chemistry
Relationship with Educational Objectives :
This class aims to (3) Acquire deep foundation knowledge of the major subject area.
Course outline :
Chemistry can be broadly classified into the fields of inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, and physical chemistry, with inorganic chemistry being one of the major areas of study. Specifically, this course focuses on solutions, complexes and solids, and aims to understand their various properties, making use of thermodynamics and quantum theory.
Style:
Course method :
All lectures will be given using a projector. It is planned that the lectures will proceed at a pace of approximately one chapter per week.
Grade evaluation method :
Evaluation will be based on the examinations only. A simple average of the midterm and final examinations will be the grade point. Resits will be announced as soon as possible, and students should follow the instructions.
Notice:
Precautions on the enrollment :
Students must take this class (no more than one-fifth of the required number of class hours missed) and earn the credit in order to complete the 4th year course. This is a "class that requires study outside of class hours". Classes are offered for 15 hours per credit, but 30 credit hours are required in addition to this. Follow the instructions of your instructor for these studies.
Course advice : This is a specialized subject. Students will not learn anything if they attend lectures in a passive attitude. Students are required to read the designated sections of the textbook before each lecture. Do not rely on rote memorization. Students are encouraged to think logically in order to understand the essence of chemistry.
Attendance advice :
・This is a subject related to the development of human resources for the environment and energy.
・Students are expected to read at least three textbooks describing the same thing in order to learn things.
・Students will be considered absent 15 minutes after the start of class.
Foundational subjects:
Chemistry I (2nd year), Chemistry II (3rd), General chemistry (3rd),
Related subjects : Organic chemistry I (4th year), Organic chemistry II (5th), Chemistry experiment (4th), Physical Chemistry (5th)
