Equilibrium, Rate and Structure - Tutorial

Catalog description

The CHEM 0332 tutorial program offers students the opportunity to master the concepts taught in the fall semester CHEM 0330 : Equilibrium, Rate and Structure course by focusing on active problem solving. Students who struggle in the fall CHEM 0330 course may be invited to join the tutorial program. Students accepted into the tutorial program begin by reviewing compound and reaction stoichiometry at the beginning of the spring semester. Tutorial students enroll in CHEM 0332 during the spring semester to complete their studies of equilibrium, acid-base equilibria, thermodynamics, atomic and molecular structure and kinetics. Students in the CHEM 0332 tutorial program complete weekly problem sets during the spring semester and participate in two mandatory, regularly scheduled problem sessions during each week of the spring semester. To qualify for consideration, a student must be on track to pass the laboratory component but is below a passing overall score after the last midterm. Accepted students receive a grade of incomplete for the Fall CHEM 0330 course. Upon successful completion of the CHEM 0332 tutorial program in the spring semester, the INC in Fall CHEM 0330 is replaced by the student’s tutorial program grade with the laboratory component imported from the fall course.
