FOUNDATION CHEMISTRY II

About this Course

Course Description

This foundation chemistry course focuses on the basic knowledge of chemical rates, equilibria and organic reactions in the fields of physical and organic chemistry. This course is designed with a logical progression of topics arranged for students, who are entering tertiary education with different learning styles and varied stages of preparedness to further their studies at higher level. The purpose of this course is to provide students with a good mastering of chemical concepts and problem-solving skills in order to develop long-term retention of principles and practice needed in their future studies. The goal will be accomplished by guidance methods, in-class exercises and a systematic problem-solving approach. By the end of this course, students are expected to acquire and apply knowledge of chemistry to respective fields of medicine, health, environment, agriculture, industry and engineering.
