CHEMISTRY FOR PRE SCIENCE

About this Course

Course Description

Chemistry For Pre-Science (CHM083) is for Pre-Diploma Science students. This course will interactively engage students cognitively and effectively in eight areas including the structure of an atom, mole concept, chemical formulae and chemical equations, aqueous solutions, periodic table, chemical bonding, electrochemistry, and introduction to organic chemistry. The designated lecture session discusses the existing concepts, principles, or theories of basic chemistry. Lecture sessions employ a mixture of lectures and active learning (self and peer discussions). The outcomes shall be assessed through a variety of tools which include activities and assessments (test and final exam) to cover CLO1 (C3) and the presentation of assignment to evaluate students' effective verbal communication skills.

Course Learning Outcomes

1 ) Demonstrate effective verbal communication on the concepts and theories in basic chemistry. (A3))
2 ) Apply the concepts and theories in basic chemistry. (C3)
