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 video demonstrations for understanding of key conceptual and mathematical processes involving matter and its transformations. The lab sections hold approximately 22 students and allow the student to physically conduct experiments within the key topics presented in lecture. Question and answer sessions are held throughout the semester to help students.

Section Expectation

Students will learn key topics in Chem1450 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. They will also gain major skill sets in how observed data connects to chemistry concept through algebra.

Evaluation

The lecture section of the course is evaluated with three mid-semester exams, eight quizzes and one cumulative final exam. Each mid-semester exam is 125 points (375 points total) and each chapter quiz is 12.5 points (100 points total). The cumulative final counts for 275 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 percentage in the class is the sum of both the lecture exam and lab points divided by 1000 and subsequently multiplied by 100.
