SGC100 - PSC - General Chemistry - Summer 2024

General Chemistry (SGC100) is a three-credit, 14-week introductory course designed to introduce students to the fundamental concepts of chemistry. The course will emphasize the physical and chemical principles of chemistry relating to matter and its transformations including measurement, atoms and molecules, nuclear chemistry, ions, the mole, reaction stoichiometry, gases, solutions, and acids and bases. The application of chemical fundamentals to naturopathic medicine is integrated throughout the course, providing students with a unique opportunity to learn chemistry within the context of naturopathic medicine. Incorporation of a virtual laboratory component enhances and re-enforces material covered in the course and allows the student to experience a practical application of chemistry while maintaining the convenience of an online chemistry course.

Each course is 14-weeks in duration (3-credits) and is delivered in a blended learning style, which includes online self-study modules with weekly live interactive online tutorial sessions one evening per week with the course instructor. Anticipate a minimum of 8 - 10 hours per week to complete course work.
