Assessment and permitted materials

Several multiple-choice exams and two written exams (probably on December 2nd, 2021, and January 31st, 2022).

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

This course is immanent to examinations. Therefore, attendance of 75% of the lecture hours is mandatory to pass the course. Furthermore, at least 50% of all possible points from multiple-choice tests and written exams must be achieved.

Examination topics

All of the course content listed above.

Reading list

D. McQuarrie "Physical Chemistry"
F.Jensen "Introduction to Computational Chemistry"
P. Atkins and R. Friedman "Molecular Quantum Mechanics"
