The following courses are offered for summer 2013.
CHEMISTRY 103 - General Chemistry I - Lecture and Laboratory
(this course is for postbac students only)
Topics include atomic structure and the periodic table; chemical reactions and stoichiometry; introduction to thermodynamics; chemical periodicity, bonding, and molecular structure; introduction to organic chemistry; properties of gases, liquid, and solids; and intermolecular forces. Basic algebra skills are essential. Laboratory work emphasizes quantitative techniques and the application of principles discussed in the lectures. Labs will be scheduled the first day of classes.
| Lecture: | M, W, Th | 9:30-11:30 AM AND 1:00-2:30 PM |
| Laboratory: | Tu, F | 8:00-11:00 AM OR 11:15 AM-2:15 OR 2:30 – 5:30 PM |
CHEMISTRY 211 - Organic Chemistry I - Lecture and Laboratory
An introduction to the principles of organic chemistry, including synthetic and spectroscopic techniques.
Prerequisite: One year of general chemistry.
| Lecture: | M-F | 9:00-11:30 AM |
| Laboratory: | 12:30 –5:00 two/three days per week | |
BIOCHEMISTRY 354 - Topics in Biochemistry - Lecture only
(This course is for postbac students only unless you get permission from the instructor.)
This course covers many of the essential topics important to understanding biochemistry. Topics will include: protein structure & function, enzymes, bioenergetics, metabolism of carbohydrates and fats, regulation and integration of metabolism, and the study of human diseases and medical treatments from a biochemical perspective. The final project is a presentation to the class dealing with a topic relevant to the course.
Prerequisites: One semester of organic chemistry and one year of biology
CHEMISTRY 104- General Chemistry II - Lecture and Laboratory
(this course is for postbac students only)
Topics include solutions; equilibria, acid-base chemistry, and solubility; energy and thermodynamics; chemical kinetics; electrochemistry; and selected chemistry of the transition metals. Laboratory work emphasizes quantitative techniques and the application of principles discussed in the lectures.
Prerequisite: One semester of general chemistry.
| Lecture: | M, W, Th | 9:30-11:30 AM AND 1:00-2:30 PM |
| Laboratory: | Tu, F | 8:00-11:00 AM OR 11:15 AM-2:15 OR 2:30 – 5:30 PM |
CHEMISTRY 212- Organic Chemistry II - Lecture and Laboratory
A continuation of CHEM 211 with an exploration of complex chemical reactions and syntheses utilizing structure-reactivity principles.
Prerequisite: One semester of organic chemistry.
| Lecture: | M-F | 9:00-11:30 AM |
| Laboratory: | 12:30 –5:00 two/three days per week | |
