General Information: Chemistry 106 is a University Studies course intended for students with little or no Chemistry background. It Meets the Natural Science requirement of the Arts and Sciences Core of the University Studies program. This course is intended both for University Studies students and as a first course for students who have not had high school chemistry and wish to prepare to take other chemistry classes. After completing this course, it is hoped students will be able to critically evaluate chemical information they encounter in the popular media.
Completion of this course will include requirements and learning activities that promote your abilities to achieve the following Outcomes: a. to understand how scientists approach and solve problems in the natural sciences; b. to apply those methods to solve problems that arise in the natural sciences; c. to use inductive reasoning, mathematics, or statistics to solve problems in natural science; d. to engage in independent and collaborative learning; e. to identify, find, and use the tools of information science as it relates to natural science; f. to critically evaluate both source and content of scientific information; and g. to recognize and correct scientific misconceptions. Course Details/Requirements/Activities: In order to do well or pass the course, the students are expected to: 1. attend and participate in lecture-discussion sessions, [Outcomes a, b, c, g] 2. participate in discussions of chemistry in the popular media 3. read assigned chapters and attempt text problems, [Outcomes a, b, c, d], and 4. pass, in general, quizzes, tests and final exam. [Outcomes a, b, c, d].
Exams: There will be 2 in class hour exams plus a final exam. Exam dates will be Thursday September 29 and Thursday November 3. The final exam is scheduled for Wednesday December 13 from 1:00-3:00PM. Makeup exams and quizzes will not be allowed, a valid written excuse for any absence must be given for a missed exam to be excused. For an excused absence, the other exams will weighted be in place of the missed exam. Examples of excused absences are serious illness documented by a physician or serious illness or death in the family. Concepts presented in class or discussed in the assigned chapters will be the basis for exam material. Homework/Articles: One of the goals of this course is for you to gain an appreciation for Chemistry that is presented in the popular media. One way this will be accomplished is by finding articles related to Chemistry in the popular media. We will have discussions about this to help deepen your understanding of issues of current importance. One of the
articles will be the subject basis for your final group project. In addition, homework assignments from the textbook and elsewhere will be assigned to help deepen your understanding of the issues discussed in class. Class attendance: While class attendance is the students responsibility, it is strongly urged that students attend every class. Students are responsible for any announcement made in class. In order to best understand material presented in class, it is recommended that students read the appropriate text before coming to class. I will be facilitating the formation of study groups for interested students. Grading:
Homework Articles Exam 1 Exam 2 Final Exam Wednesday December 13 1-3PM Chemistry in the Popular Media Group Project Total Grades are non-competitive and will be assigned as follows: Lecture Schedule 88% + A 78% + B 68% + C 55% + D 20% 20% 15% 15% 15% 15% 100%
