Lecture Notes
Chap. 1 Introduction
Course Objectives:
1. A precise understanding of polymers and their properties.
2. Learn the structure - property relationships of polymers.
3. Learn how the properties of polymers can be predicted from their structures.
4. Apply additive rules to predict polymer properties.
Policies and Procedures:
1. Basis for Course Grade
- Exams and Final Exam. 30%
- Term Projects and Homework 60%
- Quizzes and Attendance 10%
- Total 100%
2. Exams
Exams will be given.
3. Academic Dishonesty
Misrepresentation of a student's involvement in any required academic work will result in the instructor invoking the academic dishonesty policies of the university. This could result in an "F" grade being assigned for the course.
4. Homework
Homework problems and other class assignments can be found below for each class period of the semester. Homework will be collected on the due date for grading (and will be returned promptly). No late assignments will be accepted.
5. Quizzes and Discussions
A few short quizzes will be given.
Term Projects and Homework Assignments:
1. Term Projects and Homework will be given. Students should give a 20-min talk on their projects during class.
HW#1(due on Sep. ) ;
2. 10-minute write (Aug. 24): paragraphs on 1) what I want the professor to know about me, and 2) how I feel about taking this course?
3. 10-minute write (Oct. 19): "How is this course going - what could be improved about this course?"
