| •Course Purpose |
| This course was designed to promote an understanding of introductory organic chemistry and to help students build a logical framework for understanding fundamental organic chemistry. The primary purpose of this course is to acquire a logical framework for understanding fundamental organic chemistry. This framework influences for chemical reactions of the organic molecules having π-bonds. Based on the knowledge of the course contents, the participants are expected to understand organic reaction sequences happening with unsaturated organic molecules, including aromatic compounds, and solve the progressive problems sequentially. |

| •Grade Assessment |
| Examination [total 70%: two midterms (20% for each) and one final (30%)] and Assignment of Homework and Attendances(30%): S(x≧90), A(90>x≧80), B(80>x≧70), C(70>x≧60), and F(60>x) for the students who entered earlier than 2020; A+(≧95), A(95>x≧x80), B(80>x≧70), C(70>x≧65), C-(65>x≧60), and F(60＞x) for the students who entered in 2020 or later than 2020. The assessment methods will be reconsidered due to the change of the pandemic condition. |
| •Notes |
| Submission of the "Course Withdrawal Request Form is necessary to withdraw the course. The student needs to contact the course instructor when the student wants to withdraw from the course. No submission of sickness/absence reports and lack of attendance score will result in an 'F' grade: It is for the protection of other attendances in the corresponding course from the frequent absences of the specific/uncertain student(s).
Students are recommended to prepare each lecture by reading the corresponding chapter in the textbook. Also, Students are recommended to review it by solving the related homework questions. Each assignment is due by the start of the next class. Late or no submission of the assignment is the deduction point of the grade. |
| •Contacting Faculty |
| Students can communicate with the course instructor face-to-face, either in the class or through the appointment. Communication through emails (instructor's email: jyshin321(at)gamil.com) is also available.
Participants can have the lecture material for each class through NUCT. Sudden questions will be given to students during lectures to provide substantial feedback. |
