CHEM-140

A one-semester accelerated course in introductory chemistry designed for students with AP or IB chemistry or other strong high school background in chemistry. The topics will include, but are not limited to, introductory chemistry concepts covered in CHEM 125-126, and will be covered in a greater detail at a faster pace. Laboratory experiments will complement the concepts developed in lecture, and will develop students' skills in gravimetric and volumetric analysis, quantitative reasoning, and data acquisition, analysis and visualization. Problem-solving involves the use of algebra and some basic calculus. Three lectures and one three-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisites: Math 125 or equivalent and either a 4 or 5 on the Chemistry AP, a 5 or higher on the Chemistry IB (HL), or a passing score on a qualifying exam (taken online) prior to Fall semester registration. Fee: $30.
