RURAL PRE-MEDICINE selkirk.ca/rural-pre-medicine CHEM 125 - FOUNDATIONS OF CHEMISTRY II CHEM 125: Fundamentals of Chemistry II is the continuation for either CHEM 110 or CHEM 122. The course consists of two major units: physical chemistry and organic chemistry. The study of physical chemistry begins with an investigation of reaction rates (kinetics), followed by the principles of equilibria applied to pure substances and aqueous solutions, and an introduction to the laws of thermodynamics. The second major unit is a survey of the field of organic chemistry; topics include the physical and chemical properties of alkanes and alkenes, stereochemistry, and addition, substitution, and elimination reactions. The laboratory work involves the measurement of physical and chemical properties as well as chemical syntheses. Pre-requisites: CHEM 110 or CHEM 122 with a grade of "C" or better, or written permission of the instructor and School Chair. CHEM 212 - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY I CHEM 212: Organic Chemistry I, explores the relationship between the structures of carbon- containing molecules and their physical and chemical properties. Some topics from 1st-year general chemistry are reviewed briefly: alkanes, stereochemistry, alkenes, and nucleophilic substitution and elimination reactions of alkyl halides. The correlation between structure and acidity is investigated, and the chemistry of alkynes and alcohols is examined. Structure-determination techniques, including IR and NMR, are explored. The laboratory work for this course provides practical experiences with separation/purification techniques, molecular synthesis, and qualitative analytical methods applied to organic compounds. Pre-requisites: CHEM 7125 with a grade of "C" or better, or written permission of the instructor and School Chair. CHEM 213 - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY II CHEM 213: Organic Chemistry IL is a continuation of CHEM 212. The survey of organic families is continued with a study of aldehydes and ketones, carboxylic acid derivatives, aromatics and amines. The chemistry of a variety of compounds of biological interest is also discussed. The laboratory work involves synthesis and organic structure determination. Pre-requisites: CHEM 212 with a grade of "C" or better, or written permission of the instructor and School Chair. CHEM 222 - INTRODUCTORY PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY CHEM 222: Introductory Physical Chemistry presents the basic concepts of chemical thermodynamics and equilibria. The properties of solutions, electrochemical reactions, acidic and basic systems are examined. The principles of reaction kinetics 222 Selkirk College Academic Calendar 2016-17 are introduced. In the laboratory, some quantitative properties of physicochemical systems are measured. Pre-requisites: CHEM 125 and MATH 107 each with a grade of "C" or better, or written permission of the Instructor and School Chair. ENGL 110 - COLLEGE COMPOSITION English 110 is about thinking and writing. You will learn how to develop and express informed opinions on issues that matter. You will also learn about research, editing, and expository and persuasive academic writing forms. Pre-requisites: A “C” or better in ENGL 12 or equivalent or LPI level 4 or written permission of the Instructor and School Chair. ENGL 111 - INTRODUCTION TO LITERATURE English 111 is about living more intensely. Rather than providing answers, literature prompts us to ask better questions of ourselves and each other. Drama, poetry, short stories, and novels will guide us in discussion, reflection, and writing about literature. Pre-requisites: ENGL 110 with a grade of "C" or better or equivalent, or written permission of the Instructor and School Chair. Note: English 112/114 is intended for students interested ina literary focus. - FIRST NATIONS STUDIES FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONALS FNST 300: First Nations Studies for Health Professionals will examine the existing health status of Aboriginal people in Canada. Students will be introduced to traditional views of healing and compare these to current practices in main-stream medicine. Government policies aimed at aboriginal health will also be discussed. MATH 100 - CALCULUS I A course designed to provide students with the background in calculus needed for further studies. This course includes: a review of functions and graphs; limits; the derivative of algebraic, trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic functions; applications of the derivative including related rates, maxima, minima, velocity and acceleration; the definite integral; an introduction to elementary differential equations; and, applications of integration including velocity, acceleration, areas, and growth and decay problems. Pre-requisites: Pre-calculus 12, Principles of MATH 12 or equivalent with a grade of "C+" or better or written permission of the Instructor and Schoo! Chair. MATH 101 - CALCULUS II This course is a sequel to MATH 100 for those students who wish to major in mathematics, sciences or applied sciences. The course includes: antidifferentiation and integration; the definite integral; areas and volumes; transcendental functions; techniques of integration; parametric equations; polar coordinates; indeterminate forms, improper integrals and Taylor's formula; and infinite series. Pre-requisites: MATH 100 or equivalent with a grade of "C" or better or written permission of the instructor and School Chair. PHIL 201 - CONTEMPORARY MORAL PROBLEMS II Focuses on biomedical and environmental ethics. We discuss abortion and euthanasia both as legal and ethical issues. We then discuss legal ethics and the controversy around capital punishment. finally, we explore environmental issues, particularly animal rights and obligations towards nature. Pre-requisites: ENGL 12 or equivalent with a "C" or better, Level 4 LPI or written permission of the Instructor and School Chair. PHYS 102 - BASIC PHYSICS I Physics 102 - Basic Physics I is an algebra-based survey of mechanics. Course material includes basic concepts of vectors, particle kinematics and dynamics, energy, momentum, circular and rotational motion, thermal properties of matter, vibrations and sound, and fluids. Pre-requisites: Pre-calculus 12, Principles of MATH 172, MATH 051, or MATH O60 and PHYS 11 or equivalent with a grade of "C" or better, or written permission of the Instructor and Schoo! Chair. PHYS 103 - BASIC PHYSICS II Anon-calculus survey of optics, electricity, magnetism, and modern physics. This course includes the topics of light, geometrical and physical optics, electrostatics, circuits, electro-magnetism, atomic and nuclear physics. Pre-requisites: PHYS 102 with a grade of "C" or better or written permisssion of the Instructor and Schoo! Chair. PSYC 100 - INTRODUCTORY PSYCHOLOGY | An introduction to the methods, theory and practice of psychology as a science. Among others, topics will include motivation and emotion, learning and memory, biological foundations, sensation and perception. Other topics are added at the discretion of the individual instructor.
