Introduction

A grade scale with grades from A to E for pass (with A being the highest grade and E being the lowest pass grade) and F for fail is used for the final assessment.

Recommended preliminary courses

The course builds on KJFP1300 General Chemistry, KJFP1400 Organic Chemistry and KJM1500 Physical Chemistry.

Required preliminary courses

One internal examiner. External examiners are used regularly.

Learning outcomes

The course is equivalent (overlap of 10 credits) to: TRFE1000, BYFE1000, ELFE1000, DAFE1000, KJFE1000, MAFE1000, MEK1000, FO010A and FO010D.

Under the rule that students may register for an exam three times, attempts in equivalent courses also count.
