| CH 104 - Introduction to General Chem |
|
This three term sequence must be taken in order. It is
designed for students who are in the health care fields and
other non-science major programs and who need only an
introduction to chemistry. This sequence acquaints students
with the quantitative nature measuring and calculating of
chemistry, and the foundation concepts/practices of
inorganic, organic, and biological chemistry. The laboratory
part of the course supports concepts addressed in the
classroom and introduces standard laboratory procedures,
safety considerations and conservation principles. The
laboratory and lecture/discussion sessions are taught by the
same instructor in groups of approximately 24-30 students
to provide for considerable individual assistance. CH 104
course topics include beginning terminology, symbols,
concepts, problem-solving techniques, and lab techniques for
inorganic chemistry, the foundation of other branches of
chemistry. The student who earns credit with a grade of "C-"
or better should be prepared to continue into CH 105. This
course does not serve as a prerequisite for second year
chemistry courses such as Organic Chemistry numbered 200's
or 300's. NOTE: CH 104 is sometimes used as a preliminary
course for those who need the General Chemistry sequence but
want to start at a more elementary level. However, the
credits for CH 104 usually DO NOT count toward a science
major?s degree after the General Chemistry sequence is
completed. An online version of Introductory Chemistry 1 is
available through Distance Learning. Requirements include
ready access to a computer with modem or other internet
access, and working knowledge of keyboard/mouse functions,
plain text format, and file transfer protocol. Students will
have electronic contact with one another and with the
instructor. While the online format allows much of the work
to be done any time of day and any day of the week, a total
of five on-campus sessions will be held on the LCC main
campus for orientation, labs, and exams. May also be
offered through Distance Learning.
