Description

Introduction to Chemistry is a course designed for non-science majors. The course presents the basics of the science of chemistry in a contextualized manner in order to give students the opportunity to understand scientific concepts and applications beyond a disciplinary framework. Topics will be connected to real-world events, phenomena, and technologies in order to illustrate and underscore chemistry's relevance to our everyday lives, our health, our public policies, and our future. Texts and films will be used to strengthen understanding of course content and encourage student engagement. Laboratory work is integral to this course and experiments will reinforce concepts learned during lecture presentations while also introducing safety protocols and basic methods and practices that are important to scientific research
