Section Description

The class is split into two parts, a lecture portion and a lab portion. The lecture section holds approximately 200 students and utilizes notability presentations, multimedia models and demonstrations for understanding of key conceptual and mathematical processes involving matter and its transformations. The lab sections holds approximately 22 students and allows the student to physically conduct experiments within the key topics presented in lecture. Small review sessions are also conducted during lab time to review important lecture concepts.

Section Expectation

Students will learn key topics in Chem032 that include, but are not limited to, Chemical Reaction Kinetics, Chemical Equilibria, Acid-Base and Buffer Equilibria, Solubility Equilibria, Gibbs Free Energy and Thermochemistry, Electrochemistry and Nuclear Chemistry.

Evaluation

The lecture section of the course is evaluated with three mid-semester exams, 8 homework assignments and one cumulative final exam. Each mid-semester exam and homework total counts for 130 points. The cumulative final counts for 230 points, for a total of 750 points. The student is allowed to replace their lowest mid-semester exam with their cumulative final exam grade only if their final exam grade is higher than their lowest mid-semester exam grade. The lab section of the course is evaluated with weekly attendance, pre-lab report, pre-lab, and full lab report for a total of 250 points. The grade percentage in the class is the sum of both the lecture exam and lab points out of 1000 total points.
