On this page you can download the study materials for the lectures, as pdf files. This page is updated only 2-3 times / month, or whenever necessary for additions or improvements.
 Additional media: are usually animations, movies or sounds. (Movies do play with generic players, but if you have difficulties we suggest the VLC media player); all these files (pdf and multimedia) are archived as .7z/.rar files (can be extracted with most archivers, like P7ZIP, WinRar for Windows or Stuffit Expander for Mac, etc.
Required reading: The students are required to know some particular topics in chemistry or physics before going to that particular lecture.  Any pre-university level textbook can be used. For some advanced topics, (sub)chapters from (bio)physics / (bio)chemistry textbooks are provided in the download materials.

Helpful resources:

A)  Sample quizzes from lectures (sample quizzes are included at the end of each lecture material)

B)   Sample test for the final exam: test, answers

C)  How difficult is the final exam? How many questions, etc?  (full description of grading, etc ).

• Control test: a control test is scheduled for week #10 of the 2nd semester (06/05/2019 - 10/05/2019); it is taken during PSS class in that week; topics: lectures 1...7, in a written, multiple choice format. The control test has ~ 2questions/lecture; the answers are evaluated right after the test. 
  
• Final Exam schedule and results: See the "Students" section.
