GENERAL APPROACH
TO TEACHING:
In an attempt to keep students
involved and engaged, I employ several active learning techniques. To get
students involved in the process of learning, I have found that giving varied
assignments and multiple examples are effective techniques.
ESTIMATE OF STUDENT WORKLOAD:
5 hours outside of week to review
new material; Test questions will come from suggested homework problems,
activities done in class and class examples. Homework is not required but is
highly suggested for success in the class
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Our mission is to provide students
with core knowledge in basic sciences so they can become successful as Parker
students, on board exams, in treating patients, and eventually becoming
chiropractors and leaders in the field of wellness.
The topics covered will be chemical
bonding, state of matter, solution chemistry, chemical kinetics, chemical
equilibrium, chemistry of acids and bases, thermodynamics, electrochemistry,
nuclear chemistry, and introduction to organic chemistry.
Test questions will come from suggested
HW problems, activities done in class and class examples. Homework is not
required but is highly suggested for success in the class
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
At the completion of this course the student should be able
to:
1.
Identify the intermolecular forces
2.
Interpret phase diagram and heating curve
3.
Calculate solutions problems such as molarity, molality, and parts per volume
4.
Graph kinetic problems and interpret the kinetic results
5.
Calculate chemical equilibrium problems and know the correlation of Le
Chatelier’s principle
6.
Predict acid base reactions and calculate pH
7.
Predict and calculate buffer effectiveness
8.
Interpret titration curves
9.
Predict the stability of reactions based on the concepts of thermodynamics
10.
Calculate concepts in electrochemistry and understand its use with batteries
11. Distinguish between nuclear and chemical
reactions
12. Classify organic compounds
Lab Objectives: At the
completion of this course, the student should be able to:
1. Construct a heating curve
2. Develop a paper chromatography
and interpret the results
3. Calculate the kinetics involved
with the cooling of water
4. Determine the pH of common
household chemicals
5. Perform a titration, develop a
titration curve and interpret the results
6. Synthesize different polymers
ASSESSMENT:
Assessment is given through in class
examination (see course calendar for dates) and weekly laboratory reports.
PREREQUISITES:
Enrollment in Parker University, High
School chemistry, College algebra
REQUIRED TEXTBOOKS:
Chemistry, A Molecular Approach by
Nivaldo J. Tro ISBN: 0-13-100065-9
SUPPLIES:
Scantron, lab coat and goggle,
scientific calculator
GRADING SYSTEM:
Evaluation is an integral part of the
educational process and is used as an educational tool to help students
identify problem areas, to recognize and reward achievement, and to identify
students who are unable to meet the rigors of the curriculum. Final course

The instructors take no
responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of old notes, quiz questions or
exam questions that students may purchase, acquire from off of the internet or
be given by previous students.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The provisions contained in this syllabus
do not constitute a binding contract between the student and the Parker University.
These provisions may be changed at any time and for any reason at the
discretion of the Course Director. When it is necessary to make changes to this
document, appropriate notice (at least one week, if at all possible) will be
given to the student(s).
