Chemistry
Credit Courses
Grading Mode: Standard Letter
An introduction to some of the basic principles of inorganic, organic and biochemistry. Lectures, demonstrations and laboratories are integrated into a learning system equivalent to three hours lecture, four hours lecture-laboratory a week. Graded. UC credit limitations: CHEM G110 and CHEM G130 combined – maximum credit, 1 course. No credit for CHEM G110 if taken after CHEM G180. C-ID: CHEM 102.
Grading Mode: Standard Letter
This course is an introduction to the principles and calculations of chemistry and practice in basic laboratory techniques. It is designed specifically for students planning to take CHEM G180 (General Chemistry A). Graded. UC credit limitations: CHEM G110 and CHEM G130 combined – maximum credit, 1 course. No credit for CHEM G130 if taken after CHEM G180. C-ID: CHEM 101.
Grading Mode: Standard Letter
This is the first semester of a one-year course in general chemistry intended for majors in science and engineering. This course examines the composition, properties, and transformations of matter. The laboratory portion of this course provides a hands-on examination of these concepts. Graded. C-ID: CHEM 110, 120S.
Grading Mode: Standard Letter
This course provides an introduction to kinetics, principles and types of chemical equilibria, acids and bases, thermochemistry, electrochemistry, coordination compounds, nuclear chemistry and nomenclature of organic compounds. Graded. C-ID: CHEM 120S.
Grading Mode: Standard Letter
This course offers a study of the compounds of carbon and their reactions with emphasis upon structure/reactivity relationships and mechanisms. The laboratory emphasizes standard organic techniques, investigations, and spectroscopic methods for identification. Graded. C-ID: CHEM 150, 160S.
Grading Mode: Standard Letter
A continuation of the study of the compounds of carbon and their reactions with emphasis upon structure/reactivity relationships and mechanisms, including chemistry of carbonyl compounds, aromatic compounds and molecules of biological importance. The laboratory includes reactions and workup design, separation and identification of an unknown mixture, multistep synthesis and additional spectroscopy. Graded. C-ID: CHEM 160S.
Noncredit Courses
Grading Mode: P/NP/SP Non-Credit
Students in this noncredit course assist in the teaching of chemistry lab or lecture sections. To be eligible for this course a student must have successfully completed the class in which they plan to assist. Students assist instructors by some combination of the following: monitoring lab safety, clarifying lab skills and techniques, explaining experiments, engaging in active-learning lecture classrooms by guiding course topic discussions, or answering questions about lecture content. Students will prepare and present one or more oral or written presentations of lab or lecture topics. Instructor's permission required. Noncredit. Pass/No Pass. NOT DEGREE APPLICABLE.
