This course deals with the relationship between the structures of organic compounds (alkene, alkyne, aromatic carbohydrate,
etc) and their physical properties as well as their chemical reactivity and also covers the rules of the IUPAC nomenclature
system . A short test will be done in every classes.
Understanding of basic nature, reactivity, and reaction mechanism about organic compounds
- Mastering of structure, nature, and reactivity of organic compounds
- To learn basic chemical properties of aliphatic hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons
- Understanding of basic reactions about organic compounds

Require total score of 60% and above within mid-term examination (30%), final examination (30%), small tests (30%),and task(10%).
60% or more of the total 100% will be required for credit. Students are expected to understand the basic points learned in
the prints and the textbook. You can get 60 points if you take the small tests and the final exam each time and submit the
assignments. However, you will not be able to take the mid-term and final exams unless you attend at least two-thirds of the
class sessions (excluding official absences).
