Fundamentals of Chemistry: I
Welcome to the webpages for Chem101. Navigate around this site using the links at the left-hand side of each page.
This web site has not been fully updated to represent Chemistry 101 in the Summer 2013 term. The Summer instructor is Dr. Coreen Hamilton.
HERE is a link to the course information & syllabus document for Fall 2012. Note that this document will not be distributed in paper form. You can download and print it if you wish. This information is subjest to adjustment for Summer 2013.
HERE is a link to some information about Second-Year Chemistry courses, as presented by Dr. Matt Moffitt.
- The assignments page provides a list of recommended textbook problems.
- Get information on the grading of the course, including rules concerning missed tests and exams.
- more about the final exam, held in December
- midterm tests, including answer guides for past midterm tests.
- online quizzes are given and completed via MasteringChemistry.
- Note that the only calculator you will be permitted to use in midterm tests and in the final exam is the Sharp EL-510R
- Clickers are used in Chem101. They're the only device that will get you marks even when you give the wrong answer!
- There are lots of places you can go for help, including:
- the Drop-In Centre (Elliott second floor landing)
- learn how to problem solve by watching how your instructors do it - a virtual approach
- MasteringChemistry tutorials
- the study advice page, which also tells you what you can expect to learn from the course
- ... and naturally, your...
- Course instructors:
- Sandy Briggs (course coordinator)
- Neil Burford
- Find out more about the laboratory component of the course.
- The prerequisites (Math 12, Chem 11) you need to be able to take this course, and why.
- What gets covered: the course syllabus.
- The course textbook is a custom version of "Chemistry: The Central Science".
- Registration in Chem 231/232 (2nd year organic chemistry courses)
Students are reminded that they may take Chem 231 (Introductory Organic Chemistry) in January 2013 upon successful completion of Chem 101, and may then take Chem 232 the following September (after completing Chem 102), thus completing the second year organic chemistry requirements “ahead of schedule” for students in biology and the health sciences.
