(4) Credit Hours
Prerequisite: HSGPA >= 3.2 or ACT MATH >=17 or SAT MATH >=400 or ACCM >=67 or ACCNGM >=258 or (MATH 1111 or MATH 1001 concurrently or with a C or better) AND ACT ENGL >=17 or SAT CR READ >=430 or (ACCR >= 61 and ACCW >= 4) (ACCNGR>=237 and ACCW>=4) or ENGL 1101 with a C or better.
This is the first of a two-semester sequence covering the fundamental terminology, principles and applications of chemistry and is designed for students pursuing allied health careers. Course cannot be taken for credit by students in any major in the School of Science and Technology. Upon completion of this course, students will: 1) apply the scientific method to investigate chemical questions within the field of allied health; 2) apply dimensional analysis to solve quantitative problems; 3) clearly communicate orally and in writing using chemical terminology and symbology and through graphs, charts and tables; 4) utilize the fundamental principles of chemical structure and reactivity to describe the behavior of solutions of biochemical interest; 5) relate the chemical concepts of equilibrium, kinetics and reactions to processes of biochemical interest, apply standard laboratory policies, procedures and safety practices when performing experiments.
