CHEM 112	CHEM 112 Principles of Chemistry II Course Credits: 3 Modern concepts in the fundamental laws and principles of chemistry: Introduction to chemical kinetics, chemical equilibrium, acids, bases and buffer systems, solubility equilibria, elementary energy concepts, electrochemistry and an introduction to organic chemistry. These concepts are discussed as far as possible in the context of their significance in life processes, in industrial process, and in the environment. Prerequisite(s): CHEM 103 or 111 with grade of B or higher, or Chemistry 12 or equivalent with instructor's permission. (0-0-0; 3-1-3) Co-requisite(s): CHEM 199-Lab (1 credit) NB: Credit is not given for both CHEM 104 and 112. CHEM 111 normally precedes CHEM 112. Students who do not achieve a B in CHEM 111 should take CHEM 104 instead of CHEM 112
CHEM 198	CHEM 198 Lab for CHEM 103 and 111 Course Credits: 1 This lab course will compliment either the CHEM 103 or CHEM 111 lectures. It is meant to give students an opportunity to apply the learning that is happening in class in a hands-on way. The chemical concepts learned in CHEM 103 or CHEM 111 will be explored (topics include: stoichiometry, the nature of solutions, acids and bases, oxidation/reduction reactions, thermochemistry, the periodic table, bonding, molecular structure and colligative properties). This chemistry lab is also meant to introduce students to lab safety, common lab practices and lab techniques that will be required for upper level science courses and beyond. NB: This lab is a co-requisite for CHEM 103 and CHEM 111
CHEM 199	CHEM 199 Lab for CHEM 104 and 112 Course Credits: 1 This lab course will compliment either the CHEM 104 or CHEM 112 lectures. It is meant to give students an opportunity to apply the learning that is happening in class in a hands-on way. The chemical concepts learned in CHEM 104 or CHEM 112 will be explored (topics include: solubility, kinetics, chemical equilibrium, organic synthesis and extraction, buffer chemistry and electrochemistry). This lab involves a special project where students will get to explore, in depth, an area of choice and present that knowledge to the class. This chemistry lab is also meant to introduce students to lab safety, common lab practices and lab techniques that will be required for upper level science courses and beyond. NB: This lab is a co-requisite for CHEM 104 and CHEM 112
CHEM 221	CHEM 221 Organic Chemistry I Course Credits: 3 An introduction to theoretical, physical, and descriptive organic chemistry. A study of the properties of aliphatic, alicyclic, and simple aromatic compounds is examined. Introductory spectroscopy. The laboratory course illustrates the operations, representative reactions, and syntheses of organic chemistry. Prerequisite(s): Students must have one of CHEM 103 or 111 and one of CHEM 104 or 112. (3 1-4; 3-1-4) NB: CHEM 221 precedes CHEM 222
CHEM 222	CHEM 222 Organic Chemistry II Course Credits: 3 An introduction to theoretical, physical, and descriptive organic chemistry. A study of the properties of aliphatic, alicyclic, and simple aromatic compounds is examined. Introductory spectroscopy. The laboratory course illustrates the operations, representative reactions, and syntheses of organic chemistry. Prerequisite(s): Students must have one of CHEM 103 or 111 and one of CHEM 104 or 112. (3 1-4; 3-1-4) NB: CHEM 221 precedes CHEM 222.
ENGL 103	ENGL 103 Introduction to Fiction Course Credits: 3 An introductory study of fiction with the purpose of understanding literature and cultivating skills in scholarly research, textual analysis, and academic writing and documentation. Such skills are fostered by closely reading and analyzing works of short fiction and the novel by accomplished prose stylists. Students focus on the distinctive conventions of fiction in order to interpret these works critically, while interacting thoughtfully with themes presented therein; there is a particular focus on analyzing and making use of narrative strategies and rhetorical tools. Students continue to develop their academic prose, with attention to improving foundational grammar, diction, phrasing, organization, and argument-building in the thesis-driven essay. Prerequisite(s): WRTG 100 or 101 unless exempt at point of admission to the University. (3- 0; 3-0)
ENGL 104	ENGL 104 Introduction to Poetry and Drama Course Credits: 3 Building on the skills acquired in English 103, an advanced study of poetry and drama with the purpose of understanding literature and cultivating skills in scholarly research, textual analysis, and academic writing and documentation. Such skills are fostered by closely reading and analyzing poems and plays by accomplished writers. Students focus on the distinctive conventions of the genres of poetry and drama in order to interpret these works critically, while interacting thoughtfully with themes presented therein; there is a particular focus on analyzing and making use of effective patterns of language, lyrical and theatrical presentation, and figures of speech. Students continue to develop their academic prose, with attention to advanced grammar, diction, phrasing, organization and argument- building in the thesis-driven essay. Prerequisite(s): WRTG 100 or 101 unless exempt at point of admission to the University. (3- 0; 3-0)
MATH 123	MATH 123 Calculus I Course Credits: 3 This course addresses functions, limits and continuity, derivatives and applications, and integrals and applications. Prerequisite(s): At least a B in BC Principles of Mathematics 12, or Pre-Calculus 12 or equivalent, or MATH 105. (4-0-1; 4-0-1)
MATH 124	MATH 124 Calculus II Course Credits: 3 Transcendental functions, integration techniques, polar co-ordinates, sequences, series, and Taylor series. Prerequisite(s): MATH 123 (0-0-0; 4-0-1)
