Teaching Method
Outline:
To understand and master chemistry as an academic discipline, it is essential to take classes in each specialized subject and conduct experiments in chemistry. This course is the first experimental course for students after they are assigned to the Chemistry Course. It aims to provide basic knowledge of chemistry experiments (experimental techniques, rules of chemistry laboratories, how to prepare laboratory notebooks, how to discuss experimental results, etc.).
To learn basic organic chemistry experimental operations (assembly of experimental apparatus, weighing and mixing of reagents, adjustment of reaction conditions, post-treatment of reactions, isolation, and purification of products) and methods to check products by performing typical organic chemistry reactions. Understand the meaning of experimental manipulations and reaction mechanisms, and be able to prepare logical reports of experimental results.
Style:
Experiments are the foundation of chemistry, and mastery of basic techniques is essential. Students will first consider the purpose of the experiment, learn experimental methods and concepts in the preliminary study, and then confirm them in the experiment to experience and deepen their understanding of the laws of chemistry. After the experiments, students analyze the experimental data obtained through accurate measurements and compile them into a report. If this report writing phase is considered a review, the students will learn the experiment in depth by repeating the chemistry experiment's preparation, experiment, and review phases. Students must complete the experimental plan in the experimental notebook before the experiment begins. At the end of the experiment, students must submit the notebook and report the results and experimental data to the instructor in charge to complete this experiment.
Notice:
The following precautions must be taken to ensure the experiment is carried out safely.
1. Eating and drinking are strictly prohibited in the laboratory.
2. Students must wear the prescribed white lab coat and jacket when entering the laboratory. Students with long hair must tie it back.
3. Before starting experiments, students must wear safety glasses and gloves.
4. Students must promptly follow any instructions given by the teacher.
5. Reports must be submitted by the due date.
6. In case of absence, notify the teacher immediately. No credit will be given for any unexperienced work or reports that have yet to be submitted.
7. Grades will be based on reports, notes, examinations, and attitude.
