Course Description
This course
focuses on techniques useful in solving a wide range of chemistry problems,
including stoichiometry, thermodynamics, kinetics, chemical equilibria, and
electrochemistry. Attention will also be
given to organic reactions, mechanisms, and synthesis. The goal of the course will be to provide
students with good chemistry problem-solving skills. Since
CHEM 4392 reviews many concepts learned in General Chemistry and Organic
Chemistry, it is especially appropriate for students preparing for the MCAT,
DAT, PCAT or OAT exams.
Grading
Grading is
based on class participation, attendance, quizzes, and homework. Attendance
is required, so if you know you cannot attend one or more days, you should not
