Course
Content
Survey
of
Chemistry
is
a
two‐part
class.
In
this
sequence
we
will
discuss
fundamental
topics
in
General,
Organic,
and
Biochemistry.
These
courses
are
designed
to
prepare
a
student
for
a
career
in
a
health‐related
field.
In
this
course
we
will
begin
with
a
discussion
of
various
measurement
tools.
This
will
be
followed
with
a
discussion
of
energy
and
matter.
We
will
then
discuss
the
discovery
of
an
atom,
which
will
be
followed
with
an
introduction
to
elements,
compounds,
and
types
of
bonding
in
compounds.
The
preceding
knowledge
will
lead
to
a
discussion
of
different
types
of
chemical
reactions
and
calculations
based
on
these
reactions.
We
will
also
study
the
properties
of
gases
and
solutions.
Finally,
we
will
discuss
acid‐base
chemistry.
Learning
Outcomes
1. Solve
stoichiometric
problems
by
applying
appropriate
molar
relationships.
2. Predict
the
behavior
of
ideal
gases
using
Kinetic
Molecular
Theory.
3. Apply
acid‐base
chemical
principles
to
biological
processes.
Academic
Integrity
All
graded
assignments
must
be
completed
without
any
consultation
(people,
books,
internet)
unless
otherwise
permitted
by
the
instructor.
Any
student
that
violates
this
policy
will
receive
a
failing
grade
(F)
in
the
class
and
reported
to
appropriate
administrative
authorities
such
as
the
Dean.
Attendance
Policy
Failure
to
attend
any
of
the
lectures
or
laboratory
classes
during
the
first
two
weeks
will
result
in
you
being
dropped
from
the
class.
You
are
expected
to
attend
all
lecture
and
laboratory
classes.
Strong
evidences
exist
that
indicate
that
the
success
of
a
student
is
directly
related
to
her/his
class
attendance.
You
will
be
given
an
“F”
grade
for
unexcused
absences
in
TWO
or
more
lecture
and/or
laboratory
periods.
Excused
Absence:
If
you
know
in
advance
that
you
will
need
to
miss
a
class,
please
notify
the
instructor
and
provide
proof
of
the
excuse.
If
you
have
already
missed
a
class,
please
follow
up
with
the
instructor
as
soon
as
possible
and
provide
a
proof
of
a
valid
excuse.
Valid
excuses
are:
birth/death
in
the
family,
work‐related
travel,
illness/medical
emergencies,
conference
travels,
jury
duty,
accidents,
legal
issues,
or
traveling
to
represent
De
Anza
College
at
meetings/other
events.
Other
excuses
will
be
considered
on
a
case‐by‐case
basis.
Please
note
that
verifiable
documented
proof
of
the
excuse
is
essential
in
order
to
grant
a
make‐up.
Cell
Phone
Policy
Use
of
cell
phones
is
strictly
prohibited
during
class.
There
is
to
be
no
text
messaging,
browsing
the
Internet,
or
voice
conversations.
Violation
of
this
policy
will
bar
you
from
attending
office
hours
and
may
result
in
failure
in
the
class.
Evaluation
The
lecture
portion
of
the
class
is
weighted
at
80%
and
the
laboratory
portion
is
20%.
There
will
be
six
quizzes,
three
exams,
class
participation,
and
a
final
exam
in
the
lecture.
There
are
a
total
of
nine
laboratory
experiments.
You
must
complete
all
the
lab
experiments
in
order
to
pass
the
class.
The
evaluation
for
the
laboratory
part
will
consist
of
lab
reports,
lab
exams,
attendance,
and
notebook.
Lecture
Schedule
The
following
is
a
tentative
schedule
for
the
lecture
portion
of
the
class.
It
is
highly
recommended
that
you
read
the
relevant
sections
in
the
book
prior
to
the
lecture.
Periodically,
the
instructor
may
assign
certain
sections
of
the
book
to
be
read
on
your
own
and
these
will
not
be
covered
in
the
lecture.
You
will
receive
appropriate
instruction
for
such
readings
during
the
lecture.
Some
laboratory
periods
may
be
used
for
lectures.
