| Course description |
|
Polymer materials are indispensable for our daily life. This course will provide an overview of polymer chemistry and the basics of polymer synthesis via chain polymerization. This course is a part of specialized course Ⅲ classified as specialized subjects in the Department of Applied Chemistry. |
| Expected Learning |
|
Students will acquire the concept of “polymer” and the knowledge of the polymer synthesis via chain polymerization. This course would be essential for better understanding of "Polymer Chemistry II" and "Physics of Polymers and Texiles I and II". For the curriculum policy perspective of this course, please refer to the curriculum map in the Faculty of Engineering Course Guide. |

| Assessment/Grading |
|
Standard study time set by our university is required to get the grade. The rate of evaluation is as follows. Normal score (every time): 30%, midterm and final exams: 70% are totally evaluated. Questions are designed to assess the understanding of and the ability to explain the topics dealt in the lectures. Grade will be given according to the following criteria: S: ≧90 points, A: 90> and ≧80 points, B: 80> and ≧70 points, C: 70> and ≧60 points. Past grade distribution 2020 S: 8%; A: 21%; B: 49%; C: 11%; D: 11% |
