| Outline and Purpose of the Course |
This course is open to all master and doctoral engineering students. The aim is to enhance students’ knowledge of non-covalent molecular interactions found in both synthetic and natural chemical compounds and materials. Additionally, students learn how to choose methods to study and observe non-covalent molecular interactions, and how to measure and evaluate them quantitatively. Throughout the course feedback will be given by instructors. The course will also improve students to gain confidence in studying English of supramolecular topics. The course contents are suitable for a wide variety of chemistry students. |

| Evaluation Methods and Policy |
Evaluation: 20% participation (engaging the classes and activity), 80% reports. *More than 3 unexcused absence can result in course failure. |
||
| Course Requirements |
Active engagement in lectures, which provide basis for the reports required in this course. Each student is required to submit 4 chosen reports on any given topics during the course. However, 2 reports each should be submitted for the given topics on lectures 1-6 and 8-14, excluding lecture 12. If you have any concerns or questions regarding the course, please do not hesitate to contact (075)- 383-7065 or landenberger.kirabeth.2x at kyoto-u.ac.jp or (075)-383-2876 or lintuluoto.juhamikael.7u at kyoto-u.ac.jp . |
