CHEMISTRYmigration, evolution, taxonomy, and identification.Coursework includes both laboratoryand field investigations and emphasizes localspecies and habitats. Students will performindependent research projects outside ofclass. Prerequisite: Biology 115 and 116;Biology 234 or 334 strongly recommended.(Spring of odd-numbered years)450 Advanced Topics in BiologyAn advanced course that focuses on a particularfield of biology. Permission of instructor required.May be repeated when topic varies.460 Advanced Directed Study(Variable course credit)Intended for advanced students to develop andexecute a project under close supervision ofa faculty member. Project goals and approachmust be approved by the department before theend of the 6th week of the term. Students willpresent the results of their project as part of theBiology Department Seminar series. Prerequisite:permission of instructor.464 Teaching/Learning ParticipationAn individualized study that includes sharingin the instructional process for a particularbiology course under the supervision of thefaculty member teaching the course. Openonly to certain highly qualified juniors andseniors by invitation. (Additional details givenin the section on Other Learning Opportunities.)472 Research and Designof ExperimentsProvides formal training in the approachesused to advance understanding of biologicalprocesses. Course activities are built aroundoriginal research projects designed and completedby students. Lectures, discussions, andreadings provide students with the skills necessaryfor designing original research, performingexperiments, analyzing data, and reportingresults. Prerequisite: permission of the instructor.(Each fall or spring)490, 491 Independent StudyIntended for advanced senior students to developand execute a research project with theinput and guidance of a faculty mentor. Projectgoals and approach must be approved by thedepartment before the end of the 6th week ofthe term. Students will complete a full writtenassessment of their project and will present theresults of their project as part of the BiologyDepartment Seminar series. Prerequisite: permissionof instructor.492 Independent StudyOff-Campus/NSOCCHEMISTRYAnthony Tanner, chair; Andrew Carr,Karla McCain, Bradley SmuckerMichael Imhoff (Vice President forAcademic Affairs and Dean of theFaculty)Jozef Borvak and Venugopal Mukku(Visiting Assistant Professors of Chemistry)Janet Boston (Laboratory Coordinator)Charles Barr and Hank Gibson (Emeriti)Courses in chemistry provide a backgroundin one of the important laboratorysciences, preparation for enteringthe chemical industry, preparation forgraduate study in chemistry and chemicalengineering, and basic preparationfor the fields of medicine, dentistry,physics, biology, engineering, law,and teaching.A major in chemistry consists of atleast nine course credit units, sevenof which must be Chemistry 111 (orequivalent), Chemistry 112 (or equivalent),Chemistry 221, 222, 332, 341,342. Of the remaining two, one coursemust be at the 400-level. In addition, astudent must take either Chemistry 211or 412 to meet the requirement for inorganicchemistry and must participatein a zero-credit experiential chemistryactivity, Chemistry 480. No more thanone combined course credit for Chemistry240, 460, 464, and 490 will counttoward the minimum requirement atthe 200-level and above. A chemistrymajor also is required to complete eitherPhysics 106 or preferably Physics112, Mathematics 152, and Biology116. It is recommended that the majortake the third semester of calculus( Mathematics 252).COURSES OF INSTRUCTION| 81
CHEMISTRYA minor in chemistry consists of a minimumof five course credit units includingChemistry 111, 112, 221, 222, and 341.Students majoring in chemistry orbiochemistry are strongly encouragedto take all their major courses for aletter grade. Prerequisite chemistryand biology courses must be passedwith grades of at least C.The Chemistry Department programhas been recognized by the AmericanChemical Society as meeting nationalstandards for the training of chemists.A major desiring certification by theAmerican Chemical Society should makeprogram plans early in the college career.Contact the department chair for specificrequirements to achieve this goal.101 Chemistry for Non-Science MajorsIntroductory courses intended for the generalstudent, not normally counted as prerequisitefor other chemistry courses or satisfy requirementsfor a chemistry major. These coursesintroduce students to chemical principlesand chemical practice in the laboratory. Titleand emphasis announced in term schedule ofcourses. Past topics have included chemistryand the environment, chemistry and nutrition,chemistry and art, and forensic chemistry.(Each fall or spring)111 Introduction to ChemistryBasic concepts, principles, and practices ofchemistry, typically including: mass and energyrelations in chemical reactions, electronicstructure and chemical bonding, the periodictable, solids, liquids and solutions, and therates of chemical reactions. Includes one threehourlab per week. (Each fall)112 Chemical EquilibriaQuantitative aspects of elementary chemicalthermodynamics and of systems in equilibrium,typically including acid-base chemistry, oxidationreductionreactions, and electrochemistry.Includes one three-hour lab per week. Prerequisite:Chemistry 111. (Each spring)211 Inorganic ChemistryAn overview of the fundamentals of inorganicchemistry. The course covers such topics asatomic properties, molecular and materialbonding, descriptive chemistry of the elements,acid-base chemistry, coordination chemistry,organometallic chemistry, and bioinorganicchemistry. Includes one three-hour lab perweek. Prerequisite: two years high schoolchemistry or permission of instructor. (Each fall)221 Organic Chemistry IFundamental concepts of organic chemistryutilizing laboratory, lecture, and peer groupdiscussions. Covers general types of mechanisms,stereochemistry, infrared spectroscopy,and reaction energetics. Includes one threehourlab per week. Prerequisite: Chemistry112. (Each fall)222 Organic Chemistry IIApplication of general principles of organicchemistry to problems of organic synthesisand structure determination. Includes topicsof aromatic substitution reactions, carbonyland active methylene chemistry, and nuclearmagnetic resonance. Includes one three-hourlab per week. Prerequisite: Chemistry 221.(Each spring)240 Research (Variable course credit)Introduction to chemical research under thedirection of a faculty member. Departmentalapproval of project must be granted before theend of the pre-registration term. A formal writtenreport will be a part of standard requirementswithin Chemistry 240. May be repeatedwhen topic varies. (Each fall and spring)250 Intermediate Topics in ChemistryA study of selected topics offered on an occasionalbasis. May be repeated when topic varies.260 Intermediate Directed Study(Variable course credit)332 Analytical ChemistryPrinciples and applications of wet and instrumentalmethods for chemical analysis.
