This is a stand-alone independent study designed by the student and faculty sponsor that involves frequent interaction between instructor and student. Qualitative and quantitative enrichment must be evident on the proposed contract before consent is given to undertake the study.

For first year students. Does not satisfy the B.S. independent research project requirement. Experimental or theoretical study that may involve lab or library work or a combination. Work supervised by faculty sponsor who determines direction of project, nature of reports required, and grade and credit awarded. 3-4 hrs lab work per week per 1 unit is expected. This course cannot substitute for CHEM 388 or CHEM 499Y/T.

A high-level treatment of concepts covered in Chem111/112 or Chem121/122 sequence, presuming mastery of General Chemistry principles and skills at the AP Chemistry level or equivalent. Lecture component will focus on experimental evidence and theoretical basis for atomic and molecular structure, reaction dynamics, thermodynamics, and equilibrium. Learning objectives emphasize HOW we know over WHAT we know. Students are expected to bring operational familiarity with most general chemistry topics (e.g.

Basic Principles of chemistry. Microscopic nature of atoms and molecules; macroscopic properties of chemical systems. Topics inlcude stoichiometry, atomic and nuclear structure, chemical bonding, molecular structure, gases, and intermolecular forces. More extensive lecture treatment of advanced topics and laboratory work than CHEM111. Prerequisite: Secondary school chemistry and a grade of 23 or greater on Part A and 5 or greater on Part B of the math placement exam. Corequisite: MATH127 or 131
