Course Information
CHM 107 Chemistry by the Case 3 credits
Team learning is used to teach important concepts in science with an emphasis on chemistry. These concepts are then used to analyze important science/technology based contemporary issues using the case study method.
CHM 227-228 Organic Chemistry 8 credits
Fundamental treatment of organic chemistry. Mechanisms, structure and synthetic methods. Laboratory covers techniques of separation, purification, analysis and organic synthesis. Three lectures, one laboratory and one recitation per week. Prerequisites: CHM 111-112. Fall and Spring
CHM 338 Intermediate Organic Chemistry 3 credits
Important basic concepts in organic chemistry are reviewed at a higher level than is possible in an introductory course. New concepts are presented in the area of reaction mechanisms, physical organic chemistry, and in the use of retrosynthetic analysis to plan multi-step organic syntheses. Prerequisites: CHM 227-228.
CHM 461 Polymer Chemistry 3 credits
Survey of the physical and organic principles of polymer chemistry, with special emphasis on industrial applications. Prerequisites: CHM 227-228.
HON 401 Technology and Literature 3 credits
