This chemistry course is a traditional course for science and engineering majors, and for other students who need a solid background in the subject for their career-track curriculum (for example, pharmacology). It is a problem-solving course, as well as a fact-based course, that requires regular study and practice outside of class. For success, each student will need to spend time reading the textbook and lecture notes, and also do plenty of pen-to-paper work. [Hey, it's CHEMISTRY, the central science! ]
