General Chemistry 1
College Science Course Description, Prerequisites, Textbooks
and Math (101) Corequisite
General Chemistry 1 (CHEM101) - Course Description
General Chemistry 1 requires four weekends to complete. The accelerated chemistry classes are held on Saturdays and Sundays from 8:30am to 6:30pm.(4 Semester Units, includes lab*)
In this weekend General Chemistry 1 course, students become conversant with the scientific vernacular, chemical symbols, and notation. The nature of atoms and molecules in predating the properties and behavior of more complex systems will be considered. Students will manipulate rudimentary mathematical equations in order to appreciate the quantitative nature of atomic interactions. States of matter will be categorized. The Periodic Table of the Elements will be studied to illustrate chemical periodicity and bonding. The gas laws will be introduced in order to understand statistical handling of large populations of atoms and molecules. The laws of thermodynamics will be introduced, including the concepts of enthalpy and entropy.
ISP does not require students to complete any preliminary 'introduction to Chemistry' classes prior to enrollment in our weekend accredited college science program.
*If the college or university to which the student intends to transfer Integrated Science Program (ISP) courses requires 5 instead of 4 semester units per portion of a course (either 1 or 2), we offer 1 semester unit independent study courses for each formal course which provide empirically-based studies that enhance, deepen, and further integrate knowledge of the subject by developing different problem-solving skills and conceptual organization than those fostered in formal classroom and laboratory learning.

General Chemistry 1 - Corequisite - Math (101)
All ISP students applying to General Chemistry 1 (CHEM 101) or Physics 1 (PHYS 101) classes are required to take the online math assessment test before enrollment in these classes regardless of having transcripts from a previous college-level math course.ISP students applying for the General Chemstry 1 class will be contacted by an ISP representative to schedule an appointment on the SCU campus to complete this online assessment test.
Students who receive a grade of 60% or better on the online Math (101) assessment test are exempted from taking the online math co-requisite class.
Students who receive a grade of 59% or less on the online Math (101) assessment test and who DO have a transcript indicating a passing grade from a college level math course in the past four years are also exempted from taking the online math co-requisite class.
Students who receive a grade of 59% or less on the online Math (101) assessment test and who DO NOT have a transcript indicating a passing grade from a college level math course in the past four years are required to take the online math co-requisite class.
