CONSULTING HOURS: Tuesday 5-6:30 pm or by appointment.
TIME: 5 credit hours. On selected Tuesdays or Thursdays 6:00-8:05 pm
This course is a combination of a classical lecture component and a research/ application assignment. We will meet on selected Tuesdays or Thursdays ( see the syllabus) for the lecture component. The lecture notes are included in the Course Documents. Besides attending the lecture will be required to prepare a term paper addressing the specific method of colloid/surface characterization and its applications to real system. You will present your individual research as a Power Point talk at the end of the semester. One cumulative exam is planned.
Wherever you have access to the Internet, you can get to CUNY portal at and then log-in using your username and password (as a registered student you should have one). If you do not have username and password you have to register following the instructions.
You can also get an access to your site following the link to the Blackboard at CCNY portal and Colloids and Surface Science course (CHEM B7200) for Spring 2010.
Please send me the E-mail address which you would like to be used for correspondence if it differs from that used in BB.

GENERAL OBJECTIVE: Colloid and Surface Chemistry is intended to broaden the students understanding of chemical processes taking place in colloidal systems and on the surfaces of solids.. This course draws upon physical chemistry and chemical theromdynamics experience. The knowledge of calculus is also required
CONCEPTUAL THINKING OBJECTIVES:
Reading: cause-effect logic, hypothesis testing, summarizing logic
Writing: cause-effect links, objective designing, experiment planing
Data analysis: relevant data sources, data treatment, qualitative and quantitative evaluation, data consistency, error analysis
Models: cause-effect, correlation, trends
LEARNING ACTIVITIES/ ASSESMENT TOOLS:
Text reading[pic]
exam
Class-time (lecture/discussion) [pic]
Group discussion
Problem solving (individual)
Student-instructor consulting
Writing
Scientific presentation

HOME ASSIGNMENT: The course requires extensive reading and understanding of each chapter covered during the lecture. Students are encouraged to solve the problems after each chapter to better understand the application of theory they learn
ATTENDANCE: Students are required to attend all lectures.

TERM PAPER: In addition to lectures students are required to prepare a term paper dealing addressing the colloid/surface characterization of real systems (at least 3500 words). This assignment is based on extended literature study and analysis of the published data. At the end of the term each student is supposed to give a short PRESENTATION summarizing his/her environmental research. Each student can chose a topic according to his/her interests. A deadline to submit the title and short abstract is Feb 11. Term paper is expected to be computer generated. It should consist of Introduction, Results (if applied), Discussion, Conclusion and References Cited according to the scientific format. The paper will be graded by the instructor

No INCOMPLETE Grade
Final 50%
Term paper 30%
Presentation 20%
To arrange a make up of an exam a note from a doctor,
etc. HAS TO be shown.
HONESTY:
In this course, students are encouraged to discuss the problems on term papers with one another, however the submission of identical work is plagiarism. Also a direct copying from the scientific literature is considered as a plagiarism.
READING LIST (suggestions):
Scientific Journals:
• Colloids and surfaces
• Surface science
• Journal of Colloid and Interface science
• Applied Surface Science
• Journal of Physical Chemistry
• Langmuir
and other relevant WEB resources
