Course Description
Chem 1A is a course designed for students in science and engineering programs. Chemistry is a quantitative/predictive science. It is not an isolated collection of facts but a body of knowledge that fits together in laws and theories to describe nature. We will discuss these laws and theories that will allow us to predict chemical phenomena. In Chem 1A, we will discuss scientific measurement, structure of atoms and molecules, the Periodic Table, chemical reactions and calculations, and states of matter.
This course consists of lecture and lab. Hands-on work and group work will be used to help you learn and understand chemistry. Your learning depends on you; you are responsible for your learning. This course is fast-paced and covers a lot of material. Furthermore, each successive topic builds upon previous topics. In other words, you have to learn and understand topics covered at the beginning of the course to learn and understand topics covered later in the course. To maximize your learning of this material, study the assigned sections in each chapter and try working questions/problems at the end of each chapter prior to each class. This practice allows you to focus on important points in class discussions and ask questions over material you don't understand. After each class, review your notes and the assigned chapter and try working more questions/problems. When questions arise, please ask! I am available during office hours or by appointment. In addition, the ACCESS and MESA Programs offer study sessions and tutoring for related problem-solving practice.
