This course is designed primarily for chemistry and chemical engineering majors, M.S. graduate students, and any students who are planning to work in the chemical industry, pursue a doctoral degree in chemistry or related field after graduation. It attempts to provide students with concepts and a comprehensive working knowledge to solve problems associated with inorganic chemistry, solid-state chemistry and materials science. UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT GRADING: Final averages will be calculated by the average of the three (four for graduate students) tests scores, homework and class attendance: Test average (50%) + Homework (20%)+ Lab reports (20%) + Class attendance & quiz (10%) = final average GRADUATE STUDENT GRADING: Final test (40%) + Homework (20%) + Laboratory experiments (20%) + Special Topics Paper (10%) + class attendance 10%)= final average A = 90.0 +; 80.0 to 89.9 = B; 70.0 to 79.9 = C; 60.0 to 69.9 = D; 59.9 and below = F
