Course Selection Guidebook – Fall 2011220. Introduction to Organisms, Ecology, Evolution. (formerly BIOL 204 lecture)- (GER 2B)Spring (3) Course is designed for potential Biology majors. Lectures explore the diversity oforganisms, their interactions with each other and the environment, and the evolutionary processesthat produce diversity. Topics include Mendelian genetics, major taxonomic groups, ecology, andevolution. Presupposes strong background in high school biology and chemistry. (Three lecturehours, laboratory preparation period, three laboratory hours) Corequisite: BIOL 221221. Introduction to Organisms, Ecology, Evolution Laboratory (formerly BIOL 204 Lab) (GER2 Lab) Fall (1) Laboratory investigations in ecology, Mendelian genetics, and animal behavior.One discussion hour, three laboratory hours. Corequisite: BIOL 220225. Introduction to Molecules, Cells, Development (formerly BIOL 203 lecture) (GER 2B)Spring (3) Lecture explores the molecular and cellular characteristics of living organismsincluding dell structure, biochemistry, metabolism, molecular genetics, and cellular processes indevelopment. Recommended for science majors. Presupposes strong background in high schoolbiology and chemistry. Three class hours. Prerequisite BIOL 220 or consent of instructor.Corequisite: BIOL 226226. Introduction to Molecules, Cells, Development Laboratory (formerly BIOL 203 Lab) (GER 2Lab) Spring (1) Laboratory investigations in cell, molecular, and developmental biology. Onediscussion hour, three laboratory hours. Corequisite: BIOL 225Black StudiesNew students: Please see the section on Africana Studies.ChemistryThe Department of Chemistry offers different levels of introductory courses in general and organicchemistry that can be taken by freshmen. Special course offerings are available to incomingstudents with AP 4 or 5 scores in chemistry as well.Students who wish to only take a chemistry class for GER 2A credit should enroll in CHEM 101(Survey of Chemical Principles) in the fall semester. CHEM 101L (Chemical PrinciplesLaboratory) can be used to satisfy the GER 2A laboratory credit, but the number allowed to enrollin this lab is very restricted. All other introductory courses in the department are typically takenby science majors.Students planning to major in the sciences or a career in the health professions should enroll inCHEM 103 (General Chemistry I) and CHEM 103L (Chemistry Laboratory I, General) in the falland CHEM 206 (Organic Chemistry I) and CHEM 206L (Chemistry Laboratory II, Organic) thefollowing spring. Students may take the lecture courses without enrolling in the laboratory; butstudents enrolled in either the CHEM 103L or CHEM 206L labs should be concurrently enrolled inthe corresponding lecture courses. These laboratories are required for biology, biologicalpsychology, chemistry majors, and those on pre-medical tracks.Students considering Chemistry as a major and with AP or IB credit for CHEM 103/103L and/orCHEM 308/354 or transfer credit are highly encouraged to enroll in CHEM 335 (Principles ofInorganic Chemistry) in the fall of their freshman year. The department also provides the32
Course Selection Guidebook – Fall 2011opportunity for students in this course to apply for positions in CHEM 191 (Freshman HonorsResearch). Applications are made at the beginning of the fall term. Students selected for thisprogram become immediately involved in research though collaboration with a selected facultymember. Students with exceptional laboratory backgrounds and planning to major in chemistrymay also have the opportunity to begin research through CHEM 291 (Chemical Research). ContactDr. J.C Poutsma, Director of Undergraduate Studies in Chemistry, (jcpout@wm.edu or 757-221-2548) if you would like more information regarding research opportunities within the department.Students with exceptionally strong high school chemistry backgrounds that did not receive AP orIB credit may also consider taking an examination administered by the department at the beginningof the fall semester. This exam is similar in length and scope to final exams in CHEM 103.Syllabi for CHEM 103 may be found on the department website athttp://www.wm.edu/as/chemistry/index.php. Students passing the exam will be awarded credit forCHEM 103 and 103L, and they will be allowed to enroll in CHEM 335 and apply for positions inCHEM 191. Contact Dr. Chris Abelt, the department chair, at 757-221-2540 or cjabel@wm.eduprior to your arrival for fall orientation if you are interested in this option and would like toschedule an examination time.The chemistry curriculum has a hierarchical structure of courses. For this reason studentsconsidering a major in chemistry should enroll in CHEM 103 and 103L in the fall and CHEM 206and 206L in the spring of their freshman year (CHEM 335 and CHEM 206 for those with APcredit). MATH 111 and 112 (Calculus) should also be taken over the freshman year as well if noAP credit has been awarded. Those considering other science majors may also want to considerenrolling in CHEM 103 and 206 in their first year as well.For more information, please contact the Department at 757-221-2540 or visit our web siteat http://www.wm.edu/as/chemistry/index.php.Introductory Courses offered only in the Fall semester101: Survey of Chemical Principles - (GER 2A) Fall (3) General chemical principles related tohumans and their environment, including the composition of matter, chemical reactions, andenergy. Designed for nonscience majors. CHEM 101L is the companion laboratory course.(Science majors and pre-medical students should enroll in CHEM 103 instead of 101.)103: General Chemistry I - (GER 2A) Fall (3) A study of the nature of atoms and molecules,stoichiometry, states of matter, solutions, reactions, kinetics, and equilibrium. For science majorsand premedical students. CHEM 103L is the companion laboratory course.101L: Chemical Principles Laboratory – (GER 2A laboratory) Fall (1) Laboratory techniques inchemistry for non-science majors. This course consists of a one-hour discussion period early inthe week followed later by a three-hour laboratory. Students taking this course should be enrolledconcurrently in CHEM 101.103L: Chemistry Laboratory I (General) - (GER 2A laboratory) Fall (1) Laboratory techniques inchemistry. The course consists of a one-hour discussion period early in the week followed later bya three-hour laboratory. Students taking this course should be enrolled concurrently in CHEM 103.33
