CHM201 - Chemistry

Subject Title
Chemistry

Subject Description
To further enhance understanding of chemistry and its applications in the health sciences, students will focus on organic chemistry, biochemistry, energy changes and rates of reactions, chemical systems, equilibrium and electrochemistry. Application of the scientific method while examining the importance of chemistry in daily life and evaluating the impact of chemical technologies on the environment will be highlighted.

Credit Status
CHM201 is not a Seneca College credit course. However, this course is an academic requirement for successful completion of the Pre-Health Sciences Pathways to Advanced Diplomas and Degrees Program.

Camera Use and Recordings - Synchronous (Live) Classes
Synchronous (live) classes may be delivered in person, in a Flexible Learning space, or online through a Seneca web conferencing platform such as MS Teams or Zoom. Flexible Learning spaces are equipped with cameras, microphones, monitors and speakers that capture and stream instructor and student interactions, providing an in-person experience for students choosing to study online.

Students joining a live class online may be required to have a working camera in order to participate, or for certain activities (e.g. group work, assessments), and high-speed broadband access (e.g. Cable, DSL) is highly recommended. In the event students encounter circumstances that impact their ability to join the platform with their camera on, they should reach out to the professor to discuss. Live classes may be recorded and made available to students to support access to course content and promote student learning and success.

By attending live classes, students are consenting to the collection and use of their personal information for the purposes of administering the class and associated coursework. To learn more about Seneca's privacy practices, visit Privacy Notice.
