Course Descriptions
Some courses arp regularly given every other year, and are fisted in their regular places.
introductory Note —
in all cases, it is the student's responsi bility 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 tutonal.
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 require- ‘ments where high school chemistry is necessary. No University credit. Offered by correspondence only.
