To better understand chemistry, we believe you should become acquainted with fundamental principies and concepts and be able to apply them in the laboratory. our goals in this course are to: 1} train you to think scientifically (develop curiosity), 2) train you to think analytically (solve problems) , 3) Provide you with scientific information of professional and social value, 4) prepare you for future science and engineering courses, 5) teach you basic chemical principles, 6) develop your ability to communicate scientific inrormation, 7) provide you with Laboratory experience. Ag in most science or engineering. courses, General Chemistry is aiggioult. Te ba successful, you must coamit yourselves to academic excellence. You must diligently prepare fer each class by reading the assigned portions of the text. and working as many of the homework problems as. you can, ba attentive in class, and be willing to ask questions and seek extra instruction. You were selected for this course on your past academic ‘experience and performance on the chemistry placament exam - you have the ability to do well in’ this course. The Chemistry faculty is here to assist you in doing the best you can. Keep in mind that Chemistry is a 2 course unit, 6 semester hour course. You will receive twice the credit for this course as you vould for the most of your other courses. You ehould therefore expect to spend twice as much time in preparation for Chemistry 131.
