Course Description
Addendum to Course Description
The student will receive five credits for three hours of lecture and one recitation in the classroom each week and three hours of laboratory experience each week. The student must supply his own textbook, protective eyewear and laboratory manual and problems manual if required by the instructor.
Inorganic Chemistry Principles is a transferable course. It is designed to meet the needs of the medical technology student in general. This course helps the student to develop an understanding of chemical principles and the applications of such principles to the Health Science field. It fulfills the chemistry requirement for the Medical Laboratory Technician at Portland Community College.
Intended Outcomes for the course
Upon successful completion students should be able to:
- apply the fundamental principles of measurement, matter, atomic theory, chemical periodicity,chemical bonding, general chemical reactivity and solution chemistry to subsequent courses in science, engineering, technology, allied health and various other related disciplines that depend
upon these principles for successful comprehension. - apply essential chemical concepts and math skills toward successful completion of future science and applied science and engineering courses.
- solve problems in a logical manner using the scientific method, including asking a testable question, designing a model/experiment, gathering data, analyzing data, revising the model/experiment, formulating conclusions, sharing conclusion verbally and in writing.
- work effectively as a member of diverse groups to compare and contrast scientific ideas, models, or experimental results.
- critically evaluate sources of scientific information to logically decide the bias, strengths and weaknesses of the information concerning the effect of chemistry and chemical concepts on themselves and their environment.
Course Activities and Design
The lecture and laboratory experience combine to familiarize the student with the basic language pertaining to chemistry, fundamental principles of chemistry and skills in basic laboratory technique. Three hours are set aside each week for lecture and three hours for laboratory. The laboratory sections are restricted to twenty-four persons.
PREREQUISITE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS:
There are no prerequisite courses for Chemistry 101. However, a student adequately prepared for Chemistry 101 should have successfully completed high school chemistry and high school algebra.
Outcome Assessment Strategies
At the beginning of the course, the instructor will detail the methods used to evaluate student progress and the criteria for assigning a course grade. The methods may include one or more of the following tools: examinations, quizzes, homework assignments, laboratory write-ups, research papers, small group problem solving of questions arising from application of course concepts and concerns to actual experience, oral presentations, or maintenance of a personal lab manual.
Grades and competency will be determined according to student ability to demonstrate knowledge of specific chemistry topics and complete work by assigned deadlines; participate and complete reports of assigned laboratory experiments; and an evaluation of
