2.0●Goals and Objectives of the Course
The main goal of this course is to grasp what chemistry is all about and to learn the respective key principles
and elementary knowledge in different subjects of chemistry. Fundamentals of Chemistry II begins withchemical kinetics and equilibrium, advances to thermodynamics and electronics, and finishes with chemical
structures, properties, and reactions. On the basis of the knowledge, educated following the course contents, thestudents will be able to solve chemistry problems in each subject of physical, electro-, nuclear, inorganic,solid-state, organic, and biological chemistries, from simple to complex and hybrid.

Process●Course Evaluation Methods
Examination [total 70%: two midterms (20% for each) and one Final (30%)], Attendance and Assignments(30%).
Grading System: GPA (Grade Point Average) grading system is based on ‘five-step’ grade scale: S, A, B, C, andF (S: x ≧ 90, A: 90 > x ≧ 80, B: 80 > x ≧ 70, C: 70 > x ≧ 60, and F: 60 > x). No attendance of the final
examination leads to (W) ‘Withdrawal (W)*’ grade.
●Notice for Students
Course withdrawal and failure: *Students need to submit a Course Withdrawal Request Form whenrequesting course withdrawal. In the cases of any unavoidable reasons such as sickness, accident, or noattendance school, student(s) may get a grade of ‘Withdrawal (W)’ through the judgment of the course-instructor
and the students, when the student(s) submit a ‘Course Withdrawal Request Form’ to receive the ‘Withdrawal(W)’ grade. No submission of sickness/absence reports and lack of attendance score will result in ‘F’ grade, if thestudent takes the final examination. It is for the protection of other attendances in the course from frequent
absences of specific/uncertain student(s).
Cautious information: Whoever provides any suspicious action in any exam will lose his/her entire credits of all
coursework in the current semester, based on the University law.
