| Outline and Purpose of the Course | Students are divided into four classes and each class is assigned a professor who conducts teaching sessions during the same time slot. The exercises given are sampled from questions appearing at the end of chapters in the reference book. However, the specific questions used and the way in which the exercises are given may differ from class to class. In order to allow students to learn about the three fundamental laws of thermodynamics and apply them in physical chemistry, students are also taught the fundamental matters and are given exercises 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 to learn how to apply them to real physical chemistry systems. | |||

| Evaluation Methods and Policy |
Performance in teaching sessions (20%), regular examinations (80%) Student's performance in teaching sessions encompasses their participation in these sessions, marks on short tests taken during sessions, and marks from assigned reports. Obtaining at least 60 out of 100 marks is considered passing, while obtaining 59 or below out of 100 marks is considered a fail. [Evaluation policy] Achievement targets are evaluated according to the grade evaluation policy of the Faculty of Engineering. |
