These courses provide a strong foundation in basic math, the most important factor for later success in required chemistry, physics college level mathematics courses. This course is designed to prepare you for Chemistry 105, Preparation for General Chemistry, required for most science majors and taken in the freshman year. This is a seminar program featuring invited talks by medical or science professionals, from diverse ethnic backgrounds. Basic writing skills, covered in the context of relevance to the field of study targeted by the science student, seems to work more effectively than general writing courses.
Assignments are custom tailored to each student's current skill level.
