Why the properties of nano-scale materials are quite different from that of bulk materials? Polymer nanotube Nanopore array (anodic aluminum oxide, AAO) Nanowire and nanorod Colloid Chemistry Aims of study give satisfactory explanation to and endue better understanding of our nature and our society; make good control on both the natural and artificial processes; enable us to make great improvement and advancement in both social life and scientific research. To be a prophet and ideologist! Try your best to improve your learning! 3. How to improve your learning? Course rational “…and, as you go out into the world, I predict that you will, gradually and imperceptibly, forget all you ever learned at this university”… What have we learnt and what will we forgotten, knowledge, ability or makings? Major Categories in the Taxonomy of Educational Objectives Knowledge: terminology; specific facts; ways and means of dealing with specifics (conventions, trends and sequences, classifications and categories, criteria, methodology); universals and abstractions in a field (principles and generalizations, theories and structures). Comprehension: Grasping (understanding) the meaning of informational materials. Application: The use of previously learned information in new situations to solve problems. Analysis: The breaking down of informational materials into their component parts, examining (and trying to understand the organizational structure of) such information to develop divergent conclusions by identifying motives or causes, making inferences, and/or finding evidence to support generalizations. Synthesis: Creatively or divergently applying prior knowledge and skills to produce a new or original whole. Evaluation: Judging the value of material based on personal values/opinions, resulting in an end product, with a given purpose, without real right or wrong answers. http://www.coun.uvic.ca/learn/program/hndouts/bloom.html Discussion and group work are very important for you to improve your learning. 4 Our course website Student’s course thesis Group discussion Example for quarter exam 5.
