3. Summary of Lecture
o Introducing fundamental concepts of chemistry for all major undergraduates
o Topics of quantum chemical theory, phases, thermodynamics and equilibrium

4. Material for Teaching:

o Main: Principles of Modern Chemistry, 7th or 8th ed, Oxtoby/Gillis/Campion (Brooks/Cole)
o Auxiliary: Chemical Principles, 7th ed, Atkins/Jones/Laverman (W.H. Freeman)
o Lecture materials will be provided through the KLMS website of each class (https://klms.kaist.ac.kr/).

5. General Guidelines
1) All basic lecture notes can be downloaded at the General Chemistry Website: http://www.gencheminkaist.pe.kr or a
link be found at http://chem.kaist.ac.kr.

2) There are Practice Sessions led by TAs 8:00 to 8:50 pm on Mondays. This Practice Sessions are not mandatory,
and only those students who want extra discussion and problem solving are free to participate.

3) The grades will be given based on the following policy, and will be managed centrally.
95-100pts: A+, 90-95pts: A0, 85-90pts: A-, 80-85pts: B+, 75-80pts: B0, 70-75pts: B-,
65-70pts: C+, 60-65pts: C0, 55-60pts: C-, 50-55pts: D+, 45-50pts: D0, 40-45pts: D-,
0-40pts: F
I. Mid-term Exam: 34 pts,
II. Final Exam: 34 pts,
III. Homework: 26 pts,
w Chapter summary 13 pts (1pt for each of ch3~6, 9~17, max 3 pages)
w Chapter problem 13 pts (1pt for each chapter, 1-2 problems)
IV. Attendance & Attitude: 6 pts (1-pt deduction for each missing class and unacceptable attitude; can be
negative)
V. Missing more than 7 times, F will be given
6. Waive Examination
The waiver examination on General Chemistry I will be held at the beginning of 2023 Spring, but only
for those, who did not take any previous General Chemistry I classes.
