授業の目的 【英語】
Goals of the Course [ENG] | | 【Standardized across all programs】 Chemistry is a discipline that deals with substances and their changes, and is the basis of a wide range of science fields. The targets range from atoms to various molecules, macromolecules, solids, liquids, substances existing in living organisms and global environment, and also forming the universe. We are surrounded by various substances, so it is important to understand substances and their behavior.
Fundamentals of Chemistry I and II designed to be taken consecutively throughout the year, include how the basic units of substances such as atoms and molecules are assembled, and also deal with the structures and functions of various substances. It is planned to systematically learn the basics and attractiveness of chemistry, such as the inflow and outflow of energy, the progress of chemical reactions, and the relationship between life phenomena and substances. |

成績評価の方法と基準
Course Evaluation Method and Criteria | | ・The GPA (Grade Point Average) grading system is based on a 'six-step' grade scale: A+, A, B, C, C-, and F (A+: x ≧ 95, A: 95 > x ≧ 80, B: 80 > x ≧ 70, C: 70 > x ≧ 60, and F: 60 > x). Examination [two midterms (20% for each) and final (30%)] takes 70%, and Attendance & Assignments take 30%.
・Attendance is necessary for the successful completion of this course, and thus, absence will result in a reduction of points.
・Students must submit each homework by the beginning of the next class, as it is vital for reviewing the corresponding lesson. Submitting homework late or not at all results in a point deduction.
・Course withdrawal is recorded when a student officially withdraws or when the instructor determines the student does not intend to continue. This may include not submitting enough assignments or missing exams. Absence from the final examination without a valid reason results in an "F" grade. Any suspicious actions during exams will also result in a failed grade. |
