Labs include practice in plant identification and recognition. Two lecture periods, one four-hour laboratory period. Three lecture periods, one quiz period. Modern organic chemistry in which the treatment of aliphatic and aromatic compounds is integrated as much as possible. Reactions of the functional groups are explained in terms of electronic mechanisms.
Considerable time is devoted to reactions used in the qualitative analysis of organic compounds.
Three lecture periods. This semester concentrates on experiements designed to introduce students to the various techniques used in the organic laboratory. An overview of the field of environmental science. This course will examine the fundamental themes of ecology, the impact of humans on the environment, current topics in environmental science, and the interdisciplinary nature of environmental problems and solutions. Included will be an introduction to the environmental movement and the career opportunities for people with degrees in environmental science.
