Course description
Basic Exercise in Applied Chemistry II is a class of exercises to settle the contents of Organic Chemistry I, II and III as knowledge that can be used for understanding various phenomena in chemistry.

Most of chemical and pharmaceutical industry and biotechnology is based on organic chemistry. You will not be able to master the fundamentals for organic chemistry by simply attending the lectures. It is essential to solve the problems by yourself for deep understanding of organic chemistry. In this course, therefore, you will be required to solve the problems from the textbooks (John McMurry, Organic Chemistry) used in the Organic Chemistry I, II, and III.
Exams will be given every week according to the course schedule announced in the course guidance. What each exam covers will also be given in the schedule. The problems in the exam will be assigned from the text for each chapter and/or will be similar to those found in the text.
The course formate consists of 1) reviewing the scheduled chapters, 2) exams for the corresponding chapters, and 3) explanation of how to solve the problems.
Expected Learning
Objective of this course is to gain a solid understanding of basic organic chemistry by solving problems. The students will be able to explain various phenomena regarding organic chemistry or reactions based on your acquired knowledge.

Corresponding criteria in the Diploma Policy: See the Curriculum maps.

Prerequisites
In the exercise, what each exam covers will be given in the schedule. For that reason, it is necessary to read the corresponding part of the text and to prepare such as solving the chapter problem (12 hours).
After completion of the class, each person checks the answer, the wrong part is reconfirmed against the text, the corresponding answers, the commentary on the lesson etc. (3 hours).
In addition to 30 hours that students spend in the class, students are recommended to perform the above task using the textbook and the references specified below.
In completing this course, students will spend the standard amount of time as specified by the University.

Assessment/Grading
Your grade will be determined largely by a total score of exam points in principle. A degree of participation in class may be considered.
You are expected to attend the course guidance and all exam sessions to pass the course.
Message from instructor(s)
The scope of each exam will be announced in the course guidance. The students should prepare for the exams. It is essential for understanding organic chemistry to think for yourself.
