ELEMENTARY CHEMISTRY
4 units, 3 lecture hours, 3 lab hours, (Pass/No
Pass)
ADVISORIES: English 1A and Mathematics 103.
This is a one-semester elementary class for students
who have never taken high school chemistry. The course will
give students a basic background in matter, energy, chemical
reactions, measurements, formula writing, nomenclature,
chemical calculations, gas laws, bonding, solutions, net-ionic
equations, acid-base theory, pH, oxidation-reduction reactions
and equilibrium. Recommended for applied science and non-
science majors or for students preparing to take Chemistry 1A.

ORGANIC CHEMISTRY I
3 units, 3 lecture hours, (Pass/No Pass)
PREREQUISITES: Chemistry 1B. ADVISORIES:
English 1A.
This course is a study of the structures, properties,
nomenclature and reactions of organic compounds with
emphasis on reactionmechanisms. The course is recommended
for students whose major is chemistry, premedical, predental,
prepharmacy, biology, biochemistry or chemical engineering.
The following topics are included: stereochemistry, alkanes,
alkenes, alkynes, alkyl halides, alcohols, amines, ethers,
epoxides, aromatics, and organometallic compounds,
resonance and conjugation, kinetic and thermodynamic
control of reactions, multistep syntheses, infrared spectroscopy,
nuclear magnetic spectroscopy, and mass spectroscopy.

ORGANIC CHEMISTRY II
3 units, 3 lecture hours, (Pass/No Pass)
PR E R EQU I S I T E S : C h e m i s t r y 2 8 A .
ADVISORIES: English 1A.
This is the second semester in a year-long course in
organic chemistry designed for students majoring in chemistry
and related disciplines, such as premedical, prepharmacy,
predental, biology, biochemistry or chemical engineering. It
covers the study of several groups of compounds in organic
chemistry including aromatic compounds, benzene derivatives,
carbonyl compounds, amines, amino acids, lipids, and nucleic
acids. Each group is analyzed in terms of their structure,
physical properties, nomenclature, reactions and reaction
mechanisms. Also included are the oxidation-reduction of
organic functional groups and protecting groups in multistep
syntheses. (A, CSU-GE, UC, I)

ORGANIC CHEMISTRY LABORATORY I
2 units, 6 lab hours, (Pass/No Pass)
COREQUISITES: Chemistry 28A. ADVISORIES:
English 1A.
This course provides a study of the properties
and reactions of organic compounds such as alkenes,
alkyl halides, alcohols and acids. Students will perform
qualitative experiments with acetylene, alkenes and various
alcohols and work hands on with a melting point apparatus
and refractometer. In addition, an introduction will be
given on how to use a gas chromatograph and an infrared
spectrophotometer (FTIR). Analyses of IR, NMR and MS
spectra will be covered. (A, CSU-GE-UC, I)

P R E R E Q U I S I T E S : C h e m i s t r y 2 9 A
COREQUISITES: Chemistry 28B. ADVISORIES: English
1A.
This course provides a study of the properties and
reactions of organic compounds such as esters, aldehydes,
ketones and aromatics. Students will work hands on with
instruments such as a melting point apparatus, a refractometer,
a polarimeter, a gas chromatograph, an infrared spectrometer
and a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer. (A, CSU-

CHILD DEVELOPMENT (CHDEV)
1
PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES
OF TEACHING YOUNG CHILDREN
3 units, 3 lecture hours (Pass/No Pass)
ADVISORIES: English 125 and 126.
An examination of the underlying theoretical
principles of developmentally appropriate practices applied
to programs and environments. These principles include
emphasizing the key role of relationships, constructive adult-
child interactions, and teaching strategies in supporting
physical, social, creative and intellectual development for
children. This course includes a review of the historical roots of
early childhood programs and the evolution of the professional
practices promoting advocacy, ethics and professional identity.
