CHM 281 - Pre-Organic Chemistry

(2 credits)

Prerequisite(s): CHM 261; Corequisite: CHM 262. Course is designed to better prepare students for making the transition from General Chemistry to Organic Chemistry and is offered for students seeking or in need of (1) a firm foundation of the principles covered in General Chemistry which will be used in Organic Chemistry, and (2) an introduction to the basic concepts, terminology, and skills found in Organic Chemistry. It will review essential material from General Chemistry, particularly focusing on organic applications, as well as familiarize students with the rigor, style, and perspectives found in Organic Chemistry. The approach will be highly visual, with material presented less in a formal lecture format and more in drawings, animations, problem solving, and peer-led discussion.
