Proposal for Changes in 640-100 Chemistry for the Consumer for Spring 2001

I. Detailed explanation of changes (use FROM/TO format)

FROM: TO:

A. CREDIT HOURS 5 CREDITS 4 CREDITS

B. LECTURE CONTACT HOURS 4 / WEEK 3 / WEEK

LAB CONTACT HOURS NO CHANGE

C. PRE-REQUISITE Prereq: 600-105 or consent of instructor. Coreq: 760-140 or 760-141 or consent of instructor.

D. COURSE REVISION See Attached CURRENT LECTURE SCHEDULE See Attached REVISED LECTURE SCHEDULE

E. COURSE DESCRIPTION:

FROM:
640-100 CHEMISTRY FOR THE CONSUMER -- GL -- 5 cr

A critical examination of those chemical products which have a significant impact upon the daily life of the consumer. Attention will be focused from the consumer viewpoint upon food additives, prescription and non-prescription drugs, fuels, pesticides, detergents, synthetic fibers and plastics. Meets General Studies laboratory science requirements.

PreReq: 900150 – STS or Consent of Instructor

TO:
640-100 CHEMISTRY FOR THE CONSUMER -- GL -- 4 cr A critical examination of those chemical products which have a significant impact upon the daily life of the consumer. Attention will be focused from the consumer viewpoint upon food additives, prescription and non-prescription drugs, fuels, pesticides, detergents, synthetic fibers and plastics. Meets General Studies laboratory science requirements.

Coreq: 760-140 or 760-141

II. Justification for action Reduction of Credits:
The changes proposed will bring a better fit between this course and the General Education Revisions generated by the College of Letters and Sciences. The old Gen Ed required 8 credits of math/science including a five credit lab science course. With a reduction of the requirements to 7 credits of math/science, a 4 credit lab science will allow more options for the students while still permitting them to stay within the seven credit total.

Change of Pre-requisite:
With the removal of 900-150 from the Core Program, the use of an STS co-requisite as a means of ensuring that students enrolling in Chemistry for the Consumer have the necessary math is no longer appropriate.

Instead, 760-140 or 760-141 will be the co-requisite. Other material from the STS course that may have been useful in 640-100 will have to be assumed. If the incoming freshmen are truly better prepared as suggested in the proposal for the changes in General Education, it should make little difference.

Course Revision:
Removing one lecture per week requires the deletion of some topics and a reduction in the time allotted for others. The major changes are a reduction in the time spent on food topics and a decrease in the amount of time on organic nomenclature and functional groups. The latter, while essential for chemists, is probably of little direct use to consumers. In addition, there has been some shifting of topics to get a more natural match of topics in each of the three sections. See the attached CURRENT LECTURE SCHEDULE and the REVISED LECTURE SCHEDULE for detailed information on the changes.
