Learning Outcomes
- demonstrate the ability to think critically and to use appropriate concepts to analyze chemical processes in the atmosphere.
- develop the ability to explain and qualitatively analyze chemical reactions, their rates, and calculate life times of chemical compounds in the atmosphere.
- show their understanding and knowledge of gas phase kinetics, gas-phase reactions, photochemical smog formation, atmospheric photo-chemical processes, and aqueous-phase reactions.
- demonstrate their knowledge through both written (exam, home works) and oral communication (discussion in the class, oral presentations).
