First-Year Courses in ChemistryThis page was created at 6:49 PM on Mon, Jan 21, 2002. Winter Academic Term, 2002 (January 7 - April 26)Open courses in Chemistry Wolverine Access Subject listing for CHEM Winter Academic Term '02 Time Schedule for Chemistry. CHEM 105 / AOSS 105 / ENSCEN 105. Our Changing Atmosphere.Section 001.Instructor(s): John R Barker (jbarker@umich.edu) , Sharon Nichole PronchikPrerequisites & Distribution: (3). (NS). (BS). No Description Provided Check Times, Location, and Availability CHEM 125. General and Inorganic Chemistry: Laboratory.Instructor(s): Nancy Konigsberg Kerner (nkerner@umich.edu)Prerequisites & Distribution: To be elected by students who are eligible for (or enrolled in) Chem. 130. No credit granted to those who have completed Chem. 211. (2). (NS). (BS). Laboratory fee ($60) required. Credits: (2). Lab Fee: Laboratory fee ($60) required. Course Homepage: http://www.umich.edu/~chem125/ This laboratory course can be elected with, or following, Chem. 130. It is intended that students planning to enroll in Chem. 130 that have had little or no previous chemistry laboratory enroll concurrently in Chem. 125. The focus of this guided inquiry laboratory is to foster critical thinking that allows students to design, perform, and interpret experiments. In addition, the student acquires technical skills that are required for further advancement in experimental sciences. Although an ability to collect and analyze data in a quantitative manner is developed, the emphasis of the course is to provide a qualitative understanding of the basic concepts of chemistry. This is accomplished by demonstrating that chemical principles are derived from experimental data. The goal is to provide students both with a more accurate picture of the scientific process and also with skills that are relevant to solving real life problems. Much of the course work is done as a member of a team. Student groups each explore the same problem with each group using different reagents and/or conditions. A networked computer system is used to collect, pool, and summarize the largely qualitative class data. Student groups address questions which require them to organize the class data using commercial graphing software. Group answers are presented in discussion. The format of the course is organized into three sections. Pre-laboratory reading and questions are completed prior to each multi-period project laboratory. A one-hour lecture provides support for the topics and problems that will be investigated in the laboratory. The second component is performance in the laboratory where team data are shared, analyzed, and evaluated. The third begins in the first hour following completion of each multi-period project lab where groups communicate their findings during a student-led discussion. There are two one-hour written examinations, scheduled for Tuesday evenings, that constitute 30% of the grade. The remaining 70% of the grade is based on the points acquired in laboratory and discussion. TEXT: Collaborative Investigations in Chemistry, Konigsberg Kerner & Penner-Hahn, Hayden McNeil (Required). NOTE: Section 100 – Students must also elect one 100 level dis/lab combination. Combinations are made in consecutive order and are linked. For example: 125-110 dis section and 125-111 lab section. Section 200 – Students must also elect one 200 level dis/lab combination. For example: 125-250 dis section and 125-251 lab section.
CHEM 130. General Chemistry: Macroscopic Investigations and Reaction Principles.
Section 100.Instructor(s): Barbara Weathers (bweath@umich.edu)Prerequisites & Distribution: Three years of high school math or Math. 105; one year of high school chemistry recommended. Placement by testing, or permission of Chemistry department. Intended for students without AP credit in chemistry. (3). (NS). (BS). (QR/2).
Credits: (3). Course Homepage: https://coursetools.ummu.umich.edu/2002/winter/chem/130/100/ This General Chemistry course is intended to satisfy the one-term chemistry requirement for students interested in science, or as a natural science elective for non-science concentrators. This course may also be used as the first term in a four or more term chemistry sequence (probably 130, 210/211, 215/216, 260/241/242, etc.) for science concentrators and pre-professional students. Chemistry 130 provides an introduction to the major concepts of chemistry, including the microscopic picture of atomic and molecular structure, periodic trends in the chemical reactivity, the energetics of chemical reactions, and the nature of chemical equilibria. Students will be introduced to the fundamental principles of modern chemistry, the descriptive chemistry of the elements, and to the underlying theories that account for observed macroscopic behavior. In Chem. 130, students will learn to think critically, examine experimental data, and form generalizations about data as chemists do. Chem. 130 will meet three times each week in lecture sections with senior faculty (the intensive section will have four lectures a week), and once a week in small group discussion classes led by graduate student instructors. Lecturers and graduate student instructors will have scheduled office hours for after-class help, and computerized study aids will be available to all students. Course grades will be determined from discussion class evaluation, three one-hour examinations (Tuesday nights), and a final examination. The intensive lecture section (Section 400) is intended for those students who would benefit from a smaller lecture section (maximum 100 students) and more lectures so that the pace is slower and there is more feedback. Placement by LS&A testing or permission of the Chemistry Department (1500 Chemistry) is needed for enrollment in this section. Text: General Chemistry, Ebbing, ISBN 0618198954, Houghton Mifflin.
