The course will present that material in a manner to permit the student to continue the study of chemistry as is appropriate to the student's curriculum. Emphasis will be placed on logical and critical thinking, on actual learning, and on general problem-solving skills. Subject of applications will include but not be limited to the general areas of thermochemistry, gas behavior, nuclear chemistry, and electronic and molecular structure. General activities will include lecture and laboratory. Laboratory will be reserved largely for actual laboratory experiments and laboratory examinations, though some time may be used for lecture activities instead.
Laboratory is an integral part of the course.
A lab outline follows. The student is expected to complete the homework assignment by the beginning of the next lecture period. As noted in Section V there will be three regular examinations. The top twenty quizzes will be counted in the final grade. There are no makeup quizzes for any reason.
