| Outline and Purpose of the Course | In order to allow students to learn about the three fundamental laws of thermodynamics and apply them in physical chemistry, students are taught the fundamental matters and are given exercises (shorts tests) in the latter half of each teaching session to check their level of understanding. | |||
| Course Goals | The goal is to help students understand the fundamental laws of thermodynamics (especially the concept of entropy and the second law) and learn how to apply them to real physical chemistry systems. | |||

| Evaluation Methods and Policy |
Evaluation is based on either method A or method B below, dependent on which one produces better results. Method A: Regular examinations (100%) Method B: Performance in teaching sessions (20%), mid-term test (30%), regular examinations (50%) Performance in teaching sessions refers to the students’ participation in teaching sessions. ・ 60 marks or above qualifies as a pass. ・ 59 marks or below qualifies as a fail. [Evaluation policy] Achievement targets are evaluated according to the grade evaluation policy of the Faculty of Engineering. |
