Course Description
Chemistry 114 introduces the fundamentals of chemistry and chemical reactivity with
emphasis on scientific problem-solving skills through lectures and discussion
sections devoted to quantitative reasoning. Students are encouraged to develop
skills in scientific inquiry through the study of the physical and chemical
nature of matter; learn chemical principles and
problem-solving techniques and apply these scientific principles to solve
qualitative and quantitative problems. The selected textbook for this class is
"Chemistry" 8th Edition, by S.S. Zumdhal
and S. A. Zumdhal, Brooks/Cole.
The course fulfills the prerequisites for medical school and for all majors
requiring a year of general chemistry as well as the general chemistry
prerequisite for CHEM 220a or 225b.

Grading: There will be a total
of 600 points possible. The breakdown is as follows: three (3) exams, the worst
will be dropped, for a total of 200 points; assigned homework problems for a total
of 150 points, assistance to lectures recorded on random dates for a total of
50 points, and a final comprehensive exam for a total of 200 points. The final
grade is determined from an overall curve distribution of grades.
Make-Up Policy: Any missed exam requires a valid
Dean's excuse. Students are allowed to drop one exam. With a valid Dean's
excuse, if you miss two exams the first will be considered the worst score and
dropped, and the material from the second exam will be evaluated on the final. You
will be given 50 minutes to complete the section of the exam that corresponds
to the material that you missed. Dean's excuses must be given to Prof. Batista
within 3 days of the missing exam.
Office Hours: Prof. Batista's office hours: Monday
and Thursday 11:30am-12:30pm at SCL 239. Please, feel
free to contact Prof. Batista by phone, e-mail or stop by his offices whenever
you need assistance. Include your name, phone number and e-mail address on all
correspondences. Your Teaching Assistants (TA's) will also give you their
corresponding schedules for office hours and discussion sections.
