Outline and Purpose of the Course These lectures are designed for students majoring in medical and organic chemistry in the master's program immediately before they begin their experiments and in the half-year interval. The lectures cover analytical instrument measurement methods, how to identify organic and inorganic compounds, the handling of organic and inorganic compounds, and the refinement process in various fields that constitute the foundation of medical and organic chemistry experiments: organic chemistry, medical chemistry, natural products chemistry, and pharmacognosy. The course combines lectures and practical training to equip students with the skills and basic understanding to carry out experiments safely.
                       
Course Goals (1) To understand basic matters concerning research ethics and bioethics.
(2) To learn the foundations of report writing and develop the ability to write reports in observance of those foundations.
(3) To understand and learn about analytical instrument measurement methods, organic and inorganic compound identification methods, the handling of organic and inorganic compounds, and experiment techniques in the refinement process.
(4) To acquire a basic understanding of and skills in experiment procedures in order to safely conduct experiments.
