Course description

Chemistry Syllabus

Chemistry is an exciting subject that explores the structure and interactions of matter and energy. What matter is made of; how matter is organized; how matter behaves; how matter interacts; and the energy changes during these interactions. These questions and more will be answered as you are introduced to the world around you through the eyes of a chemist. By learning the language of chemistry and it?s basic principles you will be better able to understand how the world around you works. From cooking; eating; and digesting your food to fireworks celebrations to household cleaning supplies; chemistry is all around you.

Course Format
This class is delivered and conducted entirely online. Students will receive reading assignments; submit assignments; participate in discussions; and take exams all online using the MOODLE course delivery platform. This requires a computer with a reliable Internet connection.

Lessons vary and may contain readings; application activities; discussion boards; comprehension checks; case studies; and webquests.

Because this is an online; self paced course you will have to focus on how you schedule your time. Here are some suggestions to help you succeed.
? Be sure to review the requirements of each lesson before you begin.
? Determine how long it should take to complete.
? Create a plan that will allow you to complete the lesson on time.
? Work a little bit each day so you don?t leave the entire lesson until the last minute.
? Complete all of the assignments and tutorials before taking the tests.
? Try to find someone else that is taking the class so you can help each other.
? Ask your instructor questions when you don?t understand something.

Grading

Tests will be given at the end of each chapter. Tests will count for 80 percent of your grade; laboratory and homework will count for 20 percent.
