CHEM101

This course is designed for non-science majors and has two goals. The first is to give the student an understanding of some of the current issues in chemistry. The second goal of this course is to provide an understanding of the basic principles of chemistry. These principles will be presented in contemporary context including applications of chemical theory and their effects on people and the environment. This course fulfills the General Education category Scientific Reasoning. Our contemporary culture faces increasing distrust in scientific principles. Only citizens with basic scientific sensibility can grapple with the complexity, diversity, and change they will face.
