Course Requirements and Formats

Course Requirements: (1) (2) (3) Each student is required to make 1 presentation (giving one lecture) on one selected subject as assignment. (30%) Each student is required to submit a review on one subject same as his/her presentations. (30%) (25% given by instructor, 5% by student peer-review) There will be an final examination by the end of the term. (40%) (18% on long questions and 18% on short, multiple-choice questions, plus an additional 4% mark given on review comments provided as part of the peer-review process) Calculators of any kind are permitted during examination. Lecture Presentations The following guidelines are suggested for your presentations: (1) Always present a general picture at the beginning when the topic is introduced (2) Try to start from the basics, explain intuitively (3) Prepare several heading pages to break the talk into sections (4) Use fewer transparencies, but explain each clearly (5) When a figure is presented, always go through the axes, legends etc. first (6) Colour key words/symbols/curves etc. to highlight important information (7) Draw sketches to help illustrate the mechanism and explain your arguments (8) Prepare short summary sheets to highlight your points / conclusions (9) Always try to relate to chemical reactor design

Review Chapter (Project Report) (30% 25% by the instructor, 5% by other students) Reviews/reports are due by 4:00 pm on the announced due date, via email to the instructor. The text part of the review/report should be between 20 to 25 pages, 1.5 spaced typing, not including Notations, References, Figures and Tables, and any Appendix. Your review/report should be a comprehensive review of the subject and can be used as a chapter for future course notes. If the subject is too big, you can limit your discussions to several aspects after you give an overview of the subject. You must also ensure that the review is well written and easy to follow, so that other students can learn the subject from your review. You may also refer to the "review evaluation" section below for other requirements.

Peer Evaluation of the Project Review/Report (4% on your evaluation review) The review/report will also be evaluated by your fellow students, and in turn, you must also evaluate others' reports. Each student is required to submit a 1-2 page evaluation sheet for each review marked, to provide your comments following the points suggested below. A mark (out of 100) should also be given to each review/report. Your evaluation sheets will then be marked by the instructor, counting for 4% of your total course mark. (This is due one week after the review is handed in.) When you evaluate others' review/report, please pay special attention to the following: Is the review/report clearly written? (structure, logic, grammar etc.) Does the review/report give a comprehensive coverage of the subject? Does the review/report provide a good understanding of the subject? Is this a critical review/report, or just a summary of facts without additional analyses? Are the statements made in the review/report correct? Are there any limitations for certain statements made? Are enough references provided? Is the format good, including: overall structure (heading arrangement etc.) quality of tables and figure (too small? no source?) citation of references (clear? correct format?) notation list (complete and clear?)
