Title
Chemistry fundamentals
Learning Outcome
Students will demonstrate a familiarity with the basic vocabulary and concepts of chemistry.
Title
Quantitative laws
Learning Outcome
Students will demonstrate a qualitative and basic quantitative understanding of the fundamental chemical laws which govern the material substances in our universe and which express how one variable in nature depends on another.
Title
Problem solving
Learning Outcome
Students will demonstrate the ability to manipulate quantitative descriptors of natural phenomena expressed both in the form of equations and of proportionalities, and solve chemistry problems using these skills.
Title
Chemical Phenomenon
Learning Outcome
A successful Chemistry 105 students describes chemical phenomenon by first focusing on properties of the elements at the atomic level. Chemistry 105 students will gain a knowledge base of reactivity patterns of elements and compounds.
Title
Field of Study
Learning Outcome
Chemistry 105 students will be able to use their chemistry experience, knowledge, and skills to better understand and work in their own field of study.
