CHM083: Chemistry for Pre Science / Faculty of Applied Sciences

This course will interactively engage students cognitively and scientifically in areas of structure of an atom, mole concept, chemical formulae and chemical equations, aqueous solutions, periodic table, chemical bonding, electrochemistry and introductory organic chemistry. Students will explain concepts and theories, make predictions as to the possible outcome of an event, perform investigations via laboratory work and exercises; and in both verbal and writing, discuss the relationships and results obtained with peers and facilitators. The designated lecture session is used to discuss results of investigations leading to its relation to the existing concept, principles or theories. Lecture sessions employ a mixture of lectures and active learning (self and peer discussions). The outcomes shall be assessed through a variety of tools which include the traditional paper examination, scientific investigation and presentation of assignment.
