CHEM 107 - Introduction to Chemistry Credits 3 This is an introductory course which provides an overview of chemistry and prepares students for their required chemistry courses in majors like nursing, kinesiology, biology, physics, chemistry, and engineering. Topics include scientific units and measurements, the nature and states of matter, atomic theory, chemical bonding, chemical reactions, and chemical interactions. Lecture/Lab Hours: Three hours lecture, weekly. Notes: Approved for Core Curriculum Science credit. This course does not count towards the degree requirements in majors which need additional chemistry courses. Required for students who did not pass the Chemistry Placement Exam, optional for all others. A minimum of a ’B-’ is required to subsequently register in CHEM 105 or CHEM 120. Grade Mode: A. Restrictions: Must be Undergraduate Level. CHEM 110 - Chemistry Topics Credits 1-4 Various topics in introductory chemistry. Grade Mode: A. Restrictions: Must be Undergraduate Level. CHEM 120 - Principles of Organic and Biochemistry Credits 4 Chemical bonding, structure, properties and reactivity applied to organic and biochemical compounds. Includes basic metabolic processes with application to medicine and health. Lecture/Lab Hours: Three hours lecture; one hour recitation; three hours laboratory, weekly. Notes: Meets the Nursing requirement in Chemistry. This course is also required for some Kinesiology and Physical Education programs. Approved for Core Curriculum Science credit. Grade Mode: A, N. Prerequisites: Passing score on Chemistry Placement Exam; or CHEM 104, CHEM 105 or CHEM 107 with at least a ’B-’. Restrictions: Must be Undergraduate Level. Fee: $80. CHEM 301 - Organic Chemistry I Credits 3 The first semester of the traditional yearlong course in organic chemistry. Structure, properties and reactivity of carbon-containing compounds with emphasis on reaction mechanisms.
