(CHEM001_CHEMPrep)
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.
University Prep courses are non-credit courses. It is the responsibility of each student to verify that any StFX University Preparatory course in which they enrol will be recognized by post-secondary institution outside of StFX.
This course is delivered online via Moodle.
Students should plan to take approximately 30 hours to complete this course at your own pace.
Students will retain access to the course Moodle page for 60 days post completion. Students who are not active in the course for 90 days are considered to have completed what they plan to complete and will be removed from the course Moodle page.
