Catalog Description:
CHEM 1211 is the first course in a two-semester sequence covering the fundamental principles and applications of chemistry for science majors. Topics to be covered include composition of matter, stoichiometry, periodic relations, and nomenclature.
Course Prerequisites and Co-requisites:
- Corequisite: MATH 1101, Mathematical Modeling, or MATH 1111. College Algebra
- Co-requisite: CHEM 1211L, Principles of Chemistry Laboratory I
Note: Due to the co-requisite nature of CHEM 1211 and CHEM 1211L, students dropping one of the two courses must also drop the other.
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.
Computer Skill Prerequisites:
- Able to use the WindowsTM operating system
- Able to use Microsoft WordTM word processing
- Able to send and receive e-mail using OutlookTM or Outlook ExpressTM
- Able to attach and retrieve attached files via email
- Able to use a Web browser.
In-class Use of Student Notebook Computers:
Student notebook computers will be not used in the classroom in this course. Students will use the computer to communicate with the instructor and to access course materials.
- To learn the basic concepts of general chemistry.
- To apply the basic concepts of chemistry to the solution of conceptual and quantitative problems.
- To further develop the ability to solve problems through logical thought and organized reason.

Students must abide by policies in the Clayton College & State University Student Handbook.
Attendance is expected for all class periods. Attendance is required for quiz and examination periods. Any absence must be accompanied by a written excuse from a doctor or other competent authority. Without valid excuse, a grade of zero points will be assigned for the missed work. Make-up examinations will not be offered. If a student misses an exam, their final exam will be worth more to offset the missed exam.
Visitors (friends, children, etc.) are strictly prohibited from attending class without the permission of the instructor.
The use of simple calculators is allowed for all quizzes and examinations. All examinations are closed book. No student-produced "memory sheets" or note cards are allowed. An instructor-produced reference data pamphlet will be provided for all quizzes and examinations.
No smoking, eating or drinking is permitted at any time in the classroom.
Tentative schedule for examinations:
- Exam 1: Thursday, September 19, 2002; Chapters 1 - 3
- Exam 2: Thursday, October, 24, 2002; Chapters 4 - 6
- Exam 3: Thursday, Nove,ber 21, 2002; Chapters 7 - 8
