Purpose of class

To understand organic compounds and lead others to understand contents of latest papers through oral presentation.

Course content

Organic compounds are used not only for field of chemistry but also for various fields such as architecture, electronics, biology, medical and food. In this lecture, recent advancement of functional organic materials are reviewed and discussed through searching and reading latest papers.

Goals and objectives

To explain the synthesis methods and functions of various organic materials and discuss their application fields.
To present their research on organic materials clearly to others.
To summarize and explain the contents of academic papers dealing with organic materials after conducting literature searches.
To discuss and debate logically based on presentations regarding organic materials.

Evaluation method and criteria

Materials of the report (presentation), contents of the presentation, and contribution in the discussion are evaluated. The credit requires over 60% of total scores on the presentation which includes the topics of the goals and objectives.
A score of 60 requires students to be able to search for and read English academic papers on specified organic materials, accurately extract the main points, and create and deliver a presentation with a logical structure understandable to others. Furthermore, students must be able to minimally answer basic questions and participate in discussions based on fundamental specialized knowledge.
