Course Descriptions
Some courses are regularly given every other year, and are listed in their regular places. Any other courses not offered in the current academic year are listed at the end of this section..
Introductory Note
In all cases, it is the student's responsibility to determine eligibility to enter a course. It is advisable to obtain special consents in writing before registration period to avoid delays and complications.
Most 300- and 400-level courses are listed as 2 lecture hours. An additional hour may be scheduled at the discretion of the lecturer, usually for a tutorial.
The course covers the material considered essential preparation for first year chemistry courses. Included are formulae, nomenclature, stoichiometry, an introduction to thermochemistry, solution chemistry, chemical equilibria, acids, bases, oxidation-reduction reactions, kinetics and bonding. Successful completion of this course fulfills the University Admission requirements where high school chemistry is necessary. No University credit. Offered by correspondence only.
