Back to big picture

Human knowledge is limited, at each era of human history, there exist different crisis that human faces.

Crisis in this era

• Climate Change

– Green Energy

• Energy Depletion

– Renewable Energy

These concerns were not mentioned when I was a college student. The key of human success is that each of you learned the basic science and push the human knowledge boundaries to meet the human society’s needs.

Goal of this courseEach of you learn the materials in the text book, both conceptually and mathematically.

Team work – “Build-&-Attack Quizzes”Establish interests on scientific development – “Scientific News Reading”

Goal of this course – possibly your versionGet necessary credit hours (with high grade) to get your

Bachelor degree.

Discussion Sections: Discuss selected questions and group work on Build-&-Attack Quizzes

Build-and-Attack Quizzes: Build Quiz by teams Attack Quiz by individuals

Points you can get: •Build Points: # unsolved students/ total students * 100 (earned by each member of your team)•Attack Points: Each quiz solved worth: 100 / # solved students (earned by each student who successful solved the quiz)•Design Award: Vote for most enjoyable quiz. The most enjoyable quiz earns 50 points to the Build Points.

•Build Points: 2%; Attack Points: 3% (combined to be 5%) of total grade
