Study advice (preparation and review)
To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
Textbook(s)
None required.
Reference books, course materials, etc.
All materials used in class can be found on OCW-i.
Evaluation methods and criteria
Students will be evaluated based on their understanding of phase equilibrium and chemical equilibrium. Students' course score will be decided by considering all of homework, exercise (attendance), final exam.
