STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES
General
1. To present the fundamental of chemistry in a comprehensible
manner to student's with a minimal background in chemistry.
2. To strengthen the student's background in chemistry.
3. To emphases the importance of problem solving to understanding
chemistry
4. To develop the fundamental concepts from the most elementary of ideas,
to emphasize the conceptual understanding.
5. To introduce every day applications of chemistry to facilitate the
conceptual understanding.
7. The course serves to sharpen students skills in problem solving and
critical thinking
8. To provide a solid base of fundamental laboratory techniques in
chemistry, procedures and safety.
9. To enhance the student's skills of observations, interpretation of data
to use the scientific method in problem solving.
10. To prepare the students for today's work environment
11. After completing a one term chemistry course, students should be able to do
the following:
- read, write and talk about chemistry, using a basic chemistry
vocabulary;
- write routine chemical formulas;
- set-up and solve
chemistry problems
-"think" chemistry on an atomic or molecular level in
fundamental theoretical areas-to visualize what happens in a chemical
change.
