3. Summary of Lecture

  o Introducing fundamental concepts of chemistry for all major undergraduates

  o Topics of quantum chemcal theory, phases, thermodynamics and equilibrium

  

4. Material for Teaching:

  o Main: Principles of Modern Chemistry, 7th ed, Oxtoby/Gillis/Campion (Brooks/Cole)

  o Auxiliary: Chemical Principles, 7th ed, Atkins/Jones/Laverman (W.H. Freeman)

  o Online ecture materials will be provided through the KLMS website of each class  (https://klms.kaist.ac.kr)

 

5. General Guidelines

  1) All basics lecture notes can be downloaded at the General Chemistry Website: http://www.gencheminkaist.pe.kr or a link be found at http://chem.kaist.ac.kr

  2) There are  Practice Sessions led by TAs 8:00 to 8:50 pm Mondays. This Practice Sessions are not mandatory and only those students who need extra discussion and problem solving need to participate. There are on English session and two Korean sessions ( One is Zoom online)

      I. Lecture Room (E11): 301 for English, 302 for Korean offline

      II. ID/PW and the link for the online practice class (Korean)  are changed to:

        ID: 886 9926 6368, PW:251195 (updated on March 28th)

         link:    https://kaist.zoom.us/j/88699266368?pwd=aDY5bXFZT1A3ay9sNnpaZE10SmkvQT09

  3) The grades will be given based on the following policy, and will be relatively modified if necessary.
