Elementary Chemistry(back to top) |
CH 101 Elementary Chemistry, Undergraduate, 5 Quarter hours (4 class, 3 lab hours); several terms each year, usually Su, Au, Wi
Introductory general chemistry for non-science majors, including dimensional analysis, atomic structure, bonding, chemical reactions, states of matter, solutions, chemical equilibria, and acids and bases. Prerequisite: Eligibility to enroll in Math 116; Not open to students with credit for CH 121, H201, or 204. Safety glasses must be worn in lab. This course is available for EM credit. GEC physical science course. Natural science conditional admission course.
CH 102 Elementary Chemistry, Undergraduate, 5 Quarter hours (4 class, 3 lab hours); several terms each year, usually Wi, Sp
Introductory organic and biological chemistry, including saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons, alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, amines, stereoisomerism, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Prerequisite: CH 101; Safety glasses must be worn in lab. This course is available for EM credit. GEC physical science course. Natural science conditional admission course.
CH 101C and CH 102C Elementary Chemistry Blended Style, Undergraduate, 5 Quarter hours (content on computer, lab hours arranged); several terms each year beginning Autumn 2006
These are the same courses as traditional CH 101 and CH 102. The difference is in the delivery method. The course content is delivered via computer (online and/or CD) and progress is individualized. Lab experiments are conducted on campus at arranged times. This version is designed to fit more flexibly into student's schedules, but does require extra study discipline on the part of the student. Contact Ruth Kinder (kinder.9@osu.edu) for more information. More information is provided by following the "Blended Style" link in the title above this.
