Teaching Method

Outline:

Based on the philosophy of "green chemistry," which is the basis of environmentally friendly manufacturing in the field of chemistry, students learn the relationship between various environmental problems and chemistry, and the class is taught from the viewpoint of how to build an environmentally friendly and sustainable society.

Style:

Students will be given a quiz to check their preparation, presentations by students, and reports (30 hours of class time + 60 hours of self-study time).
