Essential Chemistry for Global LeadersⅡto begin on October 6, 2016

 Class List of Fall Semester 2016

“Essential Chemistry for Global Leaders Ⅱ” will begin on October 6. This is a lecture for students who are in “Minor Course of Science and Technology for Global Leaders”. But all master’s & doctoral students can take it if you have interest. The lecture will be conducted in English.

Lecture Theme & Objective

This course covers fundamental chemical science during lectures and attempts to link this knowledge to real world examples through the use of videos and reading assignments. The objective is to give students not only a working knowledge of chemistry, but also an understanding of why it is important in our everyday lives.

Message to Students

Prof. RichardsThis course builds on the foundational chemistry introduced in the Essential Chemistry for Global Leaders I course. As well as adding to the fundamental chemistry introduced in course I, we will also look at some of the techniques used in a modern chemistry laboratory, such as mass spectroscopy, UV/Visible spectroscopy and NMR. Although most of the topics covered will be already very familiar to chemistry major students, these students may also benefit from this course if they are looking to improve their English language skills with respect to chemistry.
