Summer 2008


SUMMER-I

Mr. Jeff McVey

CHEM 1310 - Intro Chemistry for Non-Science Majors 

A one-semester principles course for students in non-science related majors which covers not only the major concepts of chemistry (chemical theory, stoichiometry, bonding, and elementary thermodynamics) but also the role of chemistry in problems of contemporary society (energy, pollution, water, etc.).
.
Must be followed by CHEM 1430 for general education credit.

Dr. Debra Feakes

CHEM 1341- General Chemistry

Initial lecture course in general chemistry for science-related majors, covering atomic and molecular structure, bonding, states of matter, solutions, and descriptive chemistry.  Concurrent registration in CHEM 1141 is recommended.
.
Prerequisite: Math ACT score of at least 24 (SAT 500 or SAT-recentered 520)
or Math 1315 with a grade of "C" or higher.
 

Dr. Michelle Londa

CHEM 3410  - Quantitative Analysis

This course covers the general theory and practice of typical methods of gravimetric and volumetric analysis, satisfies the quantitative analysis requirements for chemistry majors, minors, pre-medical and pharmacy students.  
Prerequisites: CHEM 1342/1142

Dr. Chad BoothCHEM 2341: Organic Chemistry-I

This course covers the nomenclature, reactions and reaction mechanisms of the hydrocarbons and alkyl halides.

 

 

 

Prerequisites: CHEM 1342/1142 with a grade of "C" or higher.

 

Mr. Jeff McVey

CHEM 1141: General Chemistry Laboratory-I

The first of two laboratory courses in general chemistry for science-related majors.  The course introduces the students to the basics of experimental measurements, including density, separation techniques, formula determinations, titrations, thermodymanics, gas laws, and descriptive chemistry.
