SAS 040  Chem Math Lab  (1 Credit Hours)  
Chem Math Lab is an optional support course for students concurrently enrolled in General Chemistry I (CHE 110) or University Chemistry I (CHE 150). This course reinforces basic chemistry math concepts and analytical skills necessary to succeed in a first-year chemistry course. Students will think critically about problem-solving and will develop self-efficacy through group work, peer-teaching, and self-reflection assignments. Credit counts towards full-time enrollment but does not satisfy core curriculum or graduation requirements. Course grade is computed into students’ cumulative grade point average. For matriculated students only. Offered in fall semester only. 1.00 credit hours
Academic Level: Undergraduate  
SAS 041  Chem Prep  (1 Credit Hours)  
This course is designed to support developmental mathematics students preparing to take General Chemistry I (CHE 110), students who did not successfully complete CHE 110 because of difficulty with the mathematics and conceptual thinking required in the course, or students whose majors do not require chemistry until their second year of studies. This course introduces the foundational concepts of chemistry and the mathematics necessary for solving chemistry problems. Students will engage in problem-solving, solution assessment, and self-reflective practices that are necessary for success in chemistry. Students will also plan a personal approach to learning chemistry that will include a strategy for note-taking, exam-studying, and other effective learning strategies. Credit counts toward full-time enrollment but does not satisfy core curriculum or graduation requirements. Course grade is computed into students' cumulative grade point average. For matriculated students only. Offered in spring semester only. 1.000 Credit hours.
Equivalent to LAC 041.
