CHEMISTRY FOR PRE DIPLOMA II

About this Course

Course Description

This is a continuation from the previous semester course to provide students a firm foundation in basic chemistry. It covers topics such as acids and bases, chemical bonds, oxidation and reduction, electrochemistry II and organic chemistry. The course develops knowledge and builds students' understanding of chemical principles which are related to real-life applications and current technologies. The teaching and learning sessions will be conducted via lectures, tutorials and scientific investigations. The learning outcomes shall be assessed through a variety of tools which include the examination and assignments to increase students’ level of understanding and reinforce their knowledge chemistry.

Course Learning Outcomes
