Satisfies core requirement, but is not a prerequisite for other chemistry courses. One hour lecture per week. May be repeated for credit. Laboratory work is both qualitative and quantitative in nature, and is designed to complement the material presented in lecture. Three hours of lecture, one hour discussion and one three-hour laboratory per week.
Students collaborate with a faculty member on an original research topic.
May be repeated for credit. Students will be expected to integrate large amounts of information into a coherent framework of knowledge. Four hours of lecture per week. One three-hour lab per week. Common approaches to all reactions are stressed, with emphasis on multi-step synthesis and spectroscopic analysis.
