CHEM
1015 is a 3-credit, lecture-only course, with the lectures delivered
online via WebVista, and exams taken in person on campus. Internet
access is required. Students who will go on to take CHEM 1021 should
take CHEM 1015 only. Students who will NOT be continuing on to CHEM
1021 and need to fulfill the Physical Science/Lab core requirement need
take the 1-credit lab course CHEM 1017 either concurrently or
consecutively. This course will NOT fulfill the Physical Science/Lab
core requirement unless the CHEM 1017 lab course is completed either
concurrently or consecutively. Broad survey of chemical concepts.
Matter and energy, atoms, compounds, solutions, chemical
reactions, mole and chemical calculations, gases, liquids, solids,
chemical bonding, atomic and molecular structure, acids, bases,
equilibria. Physical and chemical properties of hydrocarbons and
organic compounds containing halogens, nitrogen, or oxygen.

Criteria for Core Courses: |
Describe how the course meets the specific bullet points for the proposed core
requirement. Give concrete and detailed examples for the course syllabus, detailed
outline, laboratory material, student projects, or other instructional materials or method.
Core courses must meet the following requirements:
New: CHEM 1015 is a 3-credit, 3-hour per week lecture course which only meets the PHYS SCI/L core criteria when a student also takes the 1-credit, 3-hour per week CHEM 1017 lab course. See catalog description above for lecture content. CHEM 1017 lab course provides students with three hours of laboratory experience a week. A number of experiments have been written which require students to work collaboratively to solve a problem or identify an unknown substance. Experiments require increasing levels of skill. Early exercises involve simple measurements of mass and volume, while later exercises might require the use of a buret, pH meter or thin-layer chromatography techniques. Experiments elucidate physical principles. The pH Titration experiment illustrates the difference between strong and weak electrolytes by studying strong and weak acids and bases. The Ten Penny Opera uses two kinds of pennies with different masses to illustrate the concepts of isotopes (atoms of an element which are the same chemically but which have different masses) and atomic weight (the reported mass of an element which is a weighted average of its constituent isotopes.) As a final example, the Analysis of Analgesics by Thin-Layer Chromatography illustrates a modern technique for separation and anylsis. It is based on differences in physical properties such as solubility in a carefully chosen solvent system among the active ingredients in over-the-counter pain medications. Old: <no text provided> |
Provisional Syllabus: |
Please
provide a provisional syllabus for new courses and courses in which
changes in content and/or description and/or credits are proposed that
include the following information: course goals and description;
format/structure of the course (proposed number of instructor contact
hours per week, student workload effort per week, etc.); topics to be
covered; scope and nature of assigned readings (texts, authors,
frequency, amount per week); required course assignments; nature of any
student projects; and how students will be evaluated. The University policy on credits is found under Section 4A of "Standards for Semester Conversion" at http://www.fpd.finop.umn.edu/groups/senate/documents/policy/semestercon.html . Provisional course syllabus information will be retained in this system until new syllabus information is entered with the next major course modification, This provisional course syllabus information may not correspond to the course as offered in a particular semester. New: hard copy of proposed syllabus has been provided to Laurel Carroll. Old: <no text provided> |
