STUDENT LEARNING/COURSE OUTCOMES

every student may achieve by the completion of the course:
• To identify and utilize chemistry as an integrated and logical science.
• To appraise and assess how chemistry applies to everyday phenomena.
• To determine the importance of chemistry in modern society.
• To integrate the connection between macroscopic observations, molecular views, and
symbolic representations in chemistry with the student's view of nature.
• To recognize the relationship between the structure of a molecule and its chemical and
physical properties.
