General Chemistry: Course Goals
Teach chemistry topics that must be covered to help students prepare for other courses and for standardized exams.
Teach study skills that students need to succeed in university-level science courses; these skills are distinct from those required to succeed in high-school science courses. For example, teach students how to study effectively in a group.
Teach students problem-solving and critical-thinking skills.
Demonstrate how chemistry is used in other fields and in everyday situations.
Teach students the beauty of chemistry.
