This course introduces the students taking this course about foundations of chemistry necessary to understand a variety fields of biosciences.
The goals of this course are to be able to understand properties of solution, acids and bases, redox reactions, chemical reaction rates and basic thermodynamics.
Your overall grade in the class will be decided based on the following:
- Term-end examination: 70%
- mini-examinations: 30%
