Introductory Physical Chemistry

Teaching Pattern

Methodology Lectures will provide students with basic outlines of key concepts and guidance on further reading. Examples in Physical Chemistry itself as well as other chemistry subjects and real-life examples are utilized to illustrate the principles taught. Students are encouraged to present their answers to questions posed in lectures and problem sets in tutorial sessions. -- 1 of 2 --
