This course continues and expands topics introduced in CHEM 120, including fundamentals of nomenclature, properties, structure and reactions of organic and biological compounds. Metabolism of selected groups of compounds and the physiology of selected organisms are covered.

Student Learning Outcomes of the Course: The general education requirement for natural sciences is satisfied by CHEM 125. To meet this General Education requirement, students will be able to:

demonstrate scientific reasoning applied to the natural world, including an understanding of the methods scientists use to explore natural phenomena, including observation, hypothesis development, measurement and data collection, experimentation, evaluation of evidence, and employment of data analysis or mathematical modeling; and
demonstrate scientific reasoning applied to the natural world, including application of scientific data, concepts, and models in one of the natural sciences.

The general education requirement for critical thinking is satisfied by CHEM 125. To meet this General Education requirement, students will be able to:

clearly articulate an issue or problem;
identify, analyze, and evaluate ideas, data, and arguments as they occur in their own or others’ work;
acknowledge limitations such as perspective and bias; and
develop well-reasoned (logical) arguments to form judgments and/or draw conclusions.
