Times : MWF 10:00-10:50 am in GBAD 101 Office
hours : W 11-12 noon
Why take this course?
Surface phenomena are at the heart of many technological and natural processes and an understanding of surface events is crucial to :
What will it cover?
What text will we use?
"Surface Chemistry" Elaine M. McCash (Oxford). This book has just gone out of print. Xerox copies of the book are available at the bookstore, but the royalty fee makes them rather expensive (~$45). Amazon has a few used copies for about the same price.
"CH448/548 Surface Chemistry Class Notes", P.R. Watson
What are the prerequisites?
Physical Chemistry, elementary calculus
What is the grading scheme?
A = ~80% B = ~70% C = ~60% D = ~50%
CH448
Problem sets (~ weekly) 45 % Midterm 20 % Final 35 %
CH548
Problem sets (~ weekly) 40 % Midterm 18 % Final 32 % Term paper 10%
Final exam will be on W 3/18 9:30 am
