Advanced Chemistry

Course Overview

This Advanced Chemistry course is designed to be the equivalent of the general chemistry course taken during the first year of college. Students successfully completing this course will be endowed with an exceptional understanding of the fundamentals of chemistry and achieve proficiency in solving chemical problems. This course will contribute to the development of each student’s ability to think critically and to express their ideas, in both oral and written fashion, with clarity and logic. Laboratory investigation is a central pillar of the Advanced Chemistry course. Labs will include an emphasis on experimental procedures. Each week during the second semester students will participate in a Friday lab elective and should expect to spend one to two hours each week on lab work outside of regular class time.
