8 courses with the subject CHEM, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
CHEM 1020Interpretive Chemistry4
Catalog Description This is an introductory course in chemistry emphasizing elementary principles and applications intended for non-science and allied health majors and preparation for the Principles of Chemistry sequence. Topics include matter, measurement, atomic theory, bonding theory, nomenclature, stoichiometry and the mole concept, reactions, gases, liquids, solids, solutions, acid-base chemistry, and environmental chemistry.
CHEM 1050Fundamentals of General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry3
Catalog Description This is an introductory course in chemistry with emphasis on chemical applications in biological systems. The course is intended for non-science and allied health majors or preparation for the Principles of Chemistry sequence. Topics include nomenclature, conversions (including dosage calculations), stoichiometry, solutions, acid-base chemistry, reaction rates, organic functional groups, carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, and proteins. Two lecture hours and one three-hour laboratory per week.
Catalog Description This course is the first semester of a two-semester sequence for liberal arts and sciences students and for students majoring in science and engineering or studying for careers in the allied health professions. Topics include measurement, atomic theory, nomenclature, reactions, chemical calculations, solutions, gases, thermochemistry, quantum theory, periodicity, bonding, and molecular geometry. This course requires 3 lecture hours and 1 three-hour laboratory per week.
Catalog Description This course is the second semester of a two-semester sequence for liberal arts and science students and for students majoring in science and engineering or studying for careers in the allied health professions. Topics include organic chemistry, intermolecular forces, liquids, solids, colligative properties, kinetics, equilibria, acids and bases, solubility equilibria, thermodynamics, oxidation-reduction, electrochemistry, and nuclear chemistry. This course requires 3 lecture hours and 1 three-hour laboratory per week.
Catalog Description The first semester of a two-semester organic chemistry sequence for students majoring in chemistry, chemical engineering, or biology. Furthermore, this course is designed to help prepare students for careers in the health sciences such as pharmacy, medicine, veterinary science, and chiropractic medicine. Topics include structure and bonding, acids and bases, alkanes and cycloalkanes, reaction energetics, stereochemistry, nucleophilic substitution and elimination, alkenes, alkynes, organohalides and radical reactions, NMR spectroscopy, and introduction to multistep synthesis. This course requires 4 lecture hours and 1 four-hour laboratory per week.
Catalog Description This is the second semester of a two-semester organic chemistry sequence for students majoring in chemistry, chemical engineering, or biology. Furthermore, this course is designed to help prepare students for careers in the health sciences such as pharmacy, medicine, veterinary science, and chiropractic medicine. Topics include UV-visible and IR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, alcohols, aldehydes and ketones, carboxylic acids and derivatives, chemistry of aromatic compounds, enolate chemistry, polyenes, amines, introduction to carbohydrates and peptides, and multistep synthesis. This course requires 4 lecture hours and 1 four-hour laboratory per week.
Catalog Description This is a one semester non-biochemistry major course designed for students majoring in the biological sciences or preparing for careers in the health sciences such as pharmacy, medicine, veterinary, and chiropractic. Topics include a review of aqueous chemistry, bonding, and thermodynamics; structure and function of biological macromolecules (proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids); enzyme catalysis; metabolic pathways (structures, enzymes, and energetics); and the chemical foundation of genetic information. Three lecture hours per week.
Catalog Description Students will learn advanced chemistry techniques and apply them to their own original research questions. Research topics will be chosen based on specific instructor expertise, and student interest will determine the exact direction of the research. Students will learn to perform literature searches and develop strong, testable hypotheses. They will learn to keep an organized lab notebook, design successful experiments, and analyze data. They will also learn to compile their results into a compelling presentation. Students will be expected to attend class for 2 hours per week as a group. Additional time in the lab will be available as needed throughout the semester. Additionally, students will be expected to spend 1-2 hours outside of meeting time working on literature review, data analysis, and presentation preparation.
