Introduction
The Senior Freshman (second year) course in Chemistry consists of two modules. Chemistry 201 (10 credits) and Chemistry 202 (10 credits) both consist of core Physical, Inorganic and Organic Chemistry topics at an intermediate level, which further develop the material covered in the JF year and will serve as a useful basis for further detailed studies in the Sophister years.
Tuition will consist of lectures, tutorials and practicals. The practical course will include the preparation and analysis of a variety of inorganic compounds, studies on synthetic organic chemistry, and set experiments/exercises in physical chemistry and molecular modelling which compliment the lecture courses.
Students will also engage in a team based activity which will involve research, preparation and delivery of a powerpoint presentation on some aspect of everyday chemistry.
Students must have taken Chemistry 101, Chemistry 102 and Maths OR Maths Methods during the Junior Freshman year.
