Teaching Pattern

Methodology To enhance students' learning and knowledge, problem-based learning approach will be adopted. The basic reaction mechanism and applications of reactions in synthesis will be delivered by lectures. Examples will be used to illustrate the concepts and ideas in the lecture. Lecture notes will be given to students one week ahead and the students can participate in the discussion of lecture materials. The students are encouraged to develop an independent approach of learning the subject matters. Take-home problem sets will be given, and the students are encouraged to solve the problems before seeking assistance. These problem sets provide students opportunities to apply the knowledge gained from the lecture, and also help the students to consolidate and familiarize with what they have learned. Furthermore, students can develop a deeper understanding of the subject through group discussion and self-study.
