CHEMISTRY I - Semester - 1.00 credit
Academic Chemistry is a physical science taught to students as a second lab
course. It is weighted heavily as a laboratory study. The course is
designed to prepare students who plan to major in science, engineering or
health professions in college. It also gives non-science majors a basic
background in an applied science. Topics include the Metric system,
significant figures, Physical and Chemical properties, density, atomic
structure, electron configuration, chemical reactions and stoichiometry.
GRADES are calculated using a point system. Each student's grade consists
of the following:
2/3 (approximately) = tests and quizzes
1/3 (approximately) = lab reports, assignments, homework
