| Outline and Purpose of the Course | Chemistry as the central science provides a framework for understanding the world around us. It is the study of matter and the changes that matter undergoes. This course intends to give an introduction to the first- and second-year students on the fundamental understanding of the classification, states and properties of matter, and the process, equilibrium, and energy of chemical reaction. The general concepts, laws and principles of chemistry will be introduced, and the application of the knowledge in solving practical problem will also be trained. | |||
| Course Goals | Students are expected to learn the basic concepts, laws and principles of chemistry, and understand the general physical and chemical properties of matters. Moreover, they will learn various applications of materials and chemical reactions in real world. | |||

| Evaluation Methods and Policy | Attendance and class participation [70%], Short reports [30%] | |||
| Course Requirements | None | |||
| Study outside of Class (preparation and review) | Students are required to read assigned materials before the class. Preparation before class helps to follow and understand well. Very short reports writing after certain class would take your around 1 hour. | |||
| Textbooks | Textbooks/References | Handouts will be provided as necessary | ||
