Home My WebLink AboutCHM-112Bergen Community College Division of Mathematics, Science and Technology Department of Physical Sciences Course Syllabus CHM 112 College Chemistry COURSE TITLE: CHM 112 College Chemistry PRE-REQUISITE: MAT011 or equivalent by an appropriate placement as a result of the New Jersey Basic Skills Placement test (computational sections only) CHM100 or a recent college-prep high school chemistry course is a recommended prerequisite. TEXTBOOK: Karen C. Timberlake, General, Organic and Biological Chemistry: Structure of Life,5th Edition, Pearson, 2015; ISBN# 978-0-321- 96746-6 COURSE DESCRIPTION: College Chemistry is a survey of the fundamentals of inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, and biochemistry. Topics in inorganic chemistry include atomic theory, chemical bonding, chemical reactions, nomenclature, gas laws, and acid-base buffers. The structure and function of the major classes of organic compounds are studied. Topics in biochemistry include proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and enzymes. The course includes a writing and communications requirement that relates the topics covered to a broad historical, social, and cultural context. This is a General Education course. STUDENT LEARNING OBJECTIVES: As a result of meeting the requirements in this course, students will be able to: 1. Students will learn how to use metric units and carry out chemical calculations. Students will be evaluated based on performance on written examinations and quizzes. Assessment will also be based on performance in the laboratory. 2. Students will be able to explain the way in which the structure of inorganic, organic and biochemical molecules determines the properties of these types of compounds. Students will be evaluated based on performance on written examinations and quizzes. Students will also be assessed based on performance in the laboratory and on their laboratory reports. 3. Students will be able to demonstrate knowledge of technical terms used in chemistry including appropriate nomenclature. Students will be evaluated based on performance on written examinations and quizzes. 4. Students will be able to explain the nature of acids, bases and acid-base buffers. Students will be evaluated based on performance on written examinations and quizzes. 5. Students will be able to explain the application of chemical principles to the health sciences. Students will be evaluated based on performance on written examinations and quizzes. At the discretion of the instructor, assessment measures may be somewhat modified.
