Announcements Final Examination Date: December 7, 2007 Allow: one A4 sheet Content: most of the questions will be from the lecture. Polymer processing : ~ 31% Thermal properties : ~ 25% Viscoelastic model : ~ 44 % Guest Speakers Monday Nov 12, 07 4:00 - 5:30 pm Assoc. Prof. Sanong Ekgasit, Dept of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, CU Monday Nov 19, 07 4:00 - 5:30 pm Assoc. Prof. Pitt Supaphol, The Petroleum and Petrochemical College, CU Term Paper Monday Nov 5, 07 Submit the first draft of the term paper (2 copies) Sign up for 1 hr discussion regarding term paper Mon - Fri Nov 12 - 16, 07 Discuss paper with instructors (~ 1 hr/group) Thursday Nov 22, 07 Submit the complete paper (2 copies) Mon & Fri Nov 26 & 30, 07 Present 15 min/group Questions & answers 5 min/group Notes: The points for term paper is the average (1st draft & the complete one) The presentation score is the same for everyone in each group.

Here is an example of an article written by 4th year undergrad students doing a research project with me. It is published in Journal of Applied Polymer Science which has impact factor = 1.306. Don’t worry about your language. They can use simple words to explain their results so you can explain what you want to let us know about your topic too. Final examination: allow 1 A4-paper sheet in the exam room |
