This laboratory is for students with strong preparation in chemistry and is a companion to CHM 114. Topics covered include solution chemistry and pH, visible spectroscopy, chemical quantification, inorganic complexes, and equilibrium. Students will develop a strong foundation of laboratory safety and chemistry lab techniques with a focus on iterative experimental design and careful observation. Students will also practice scientific communication skills via keeping a lab notebook, writing reports, and presenting to classmates.

There is more than one way to find success in college and the path to getting there is different for every student. This class will help incoming students define their individual goals and connect them to the resources needed to achieve these goals. Through activities and exercises students will discover the many academic and co-curricular activities available at UMass and begin creating their own roadmap to graduation.
