This non- credit university preparation course is for individuals who have not taken chemistry in high school or who need a refresher for high school chemistry. Specific focus will be placed on preparing students for first year chemistry at STFX (Chemistry 101/121/151). This self-directed course is delivered purely in an online format and is completed at your own pace.
In this course we will cover the basic fundamentals of chemistry including the properties of matter; bonding and intermolecular forces; chemical equations and reactions; acid and bases; and equilibrium. Assessment will consist of a mixture of quizzes, assignments, and formal exams. Where appropriate there will be short videos of experiments with accompanying questions.
This non-credit interactive course is intended to prepare students for university level math courses. Some of the main topics studied in this course are mathematical functions, trigonometry, and an introduction to limits.
This online course uses Moodle and Collaborate (a microphone and speakers or headset is required) and features 12 lessons, video lectures, supplementary materials as well as guidance and feedback from the instructor. This is a great opportunity to prepare for successful participation in university math courses, from the convenience of your home, and with flexibility for your schedule.
Mathematics is the science of numbers, quantity and space. The aim of University Preparatory Math for Professional Programs (non-credit) is to provide a student-oriented math course for learning or reviewing mathematical concepts and skills that are necessary for success in a variety of professional programs (e.g. Nursing, Nutrition, Human Kinetics or Business Administration).
