Survey of Chemistry II

Credit Hours:

3.0 semester credit hours

Catalog Description:

This course is the second course in a two-semester sequence beginning with CHEM 1151.  It will cover elementary principles of general, organic and biochemistry designed for allied health science majors.  This course is open to non-science majors as well.

Course Prerequisites and Co-requisites:

Prerequisite: CHEM 1151: Survey of Chemistry I

Notebook Computer Requirement:

Each CCSU student is required to have ready access throughout the semester to a notebook computer that meets faculty-approved hardware and software requirements for the student's academic program. Students will sign a statement attesting to such access.  For further information on CCSU's Official Notebook Computer Policy, please go to http://itpchoice.clayton.edu/policy.htm.

• Able to use a Web browser.

In-class Use of Student Notebook Computers:

Student notebook computers will not be used in the classroom in this course. Computers will be required to access course materials and to communicate with your instructor.

Course Objectives:

• To learn the basic principles of general, organic and biochemistry

• To apply these principles to a discussion of these areas of chemistry with emphasis on examples from the health sciences field

• To further develop the ability to solve problems through logical thought and organized reason.

Student Learning Outcomes:

General education outcomes:

• Communication: knowledge base. CHEM 1152 will provide knowledge base information necessary for communication of information concerning basic principles in general, organic and biochemistry
• Critical thinking: all components (question/issue, method, evidence, conclusion). CHEM 1152 will provide problem solving skills. Students will be required to analyze problems to determine known and unknown information, select appropriate physical model(s), apply those models to problems and assess the reasonability of their solutions.
