CHEMISTRY M.T.; Wagener, K.B.; Weltner, W., Jr.; Williams, K.R.; Winefordner, J.D.; Yost, R.A.; Young, V.Y.; Zoltewicz, J.A. Undergraduate Coordinator: R. C. Stoufer Graduate Coordinator: J. A. Deyrup Office: CRB 340 (392-0541) ADMISSION TO THE MAJOR: Students who clearly demonstrate a proficiency in chemistry and who wish to major in chemistry are encouraged to apply for admission to the Chemistry Major as soon as they have completed at least one year of calculus and analytic geometry and a complete General Chemistry sequence. Students who decide at a later time to major in chemistry and who satisfy the admission require- ment of the college should apply after having com- pleted one and one-half years of calculus and analytic geometry, a complete General Chemistry sequence, and one year of 3000-level chemistry. It is desirable for a student to have completed the physics-with-calculus requirement. THE MAJOR: All Chemistry Majors must com- plete at least the following Program (which may include equivalent transfer course work): General Chemistry (CHM 2040-2041-2045L-2046-2046L or CHM 2045-2045L-2046-2046L or CHM 2050-2045L- 2051-2046L), Analytical Chemistry (CHM 3120-3120L- 4130-4130L), Organic Chemistry (CHM 3210-3211- 3211L), Inorganic Chemistry (CHM 3610), Physical Chemistry (CHM 4411-4412), Physical Chemistry Lab (CHM 4411L or 4412L), Calculus (MAC 3311-3312- 3313), Computer Programming (COP 3210, CGS 3462 or COC 3212), and Physics with Calculus (PHY 3040- 3041 and 3055L-3056L). It is recommended that MAP 3302 be taken, also. Completion of the above courses and their pre- requisites will satisfy the minimum requirements of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences for a major in chemistry. Required CHM courses must be completed with minimum C grades; one may graduate with D grades in other courses required for the major, but it is recommended any such courses be repeated for a higher grade before taking the courses for which they are prerequisite. Any language acceptable to the College of Arts and Sciences may be taken with this minimum program. Languages may be taken on an S/U basis. The required courses indicated above are gener- ally offered every regular term. Because of budgetary and other restrictions, Summer schedules cannot be predetermined. Summer offerings will usually be on a Term C (12 weeks) basis. To avoid delays in gradua- tion, students should plan their programs according- ly.The student is advised, when possible, to complete the following or their equivalent during the first two years: four semesters of chemistry, three semesters of calculus, and two semesters of physics. A.C.S. Certified Program: To receive American Chemical Society certification and an adequate prepa- ration for the profession, a student must complete the above program and obtain credit for both CHM 4411L and CHM 4412L. The language requirement must be met in German, French or Russian. HONORS: For graduation with honors a student must attain a 3.5 overall upper-division average. High Honors will be awarded to chemistry majors who earn an overall upper-division grade point aver- age of 3.5 or higher, a 3.3 or higher average for all chemistry course work attempted--exclusive of CHM 4910 and CHM 4905-and complete a minimum of 6 semester hours of Senior Research, CHM 4910. In addi- tion, a thesis based upon the research project must be presented together with a favorable letter of recom- mendation from the faculty supervisor, to the Undergraduate Coordinator for Chemistry. The thesis must contain both discussion and experimental results. tt Grading is on S-U basis only. The research will normally be carried out under the direction of a member of the chemistry faculty. With departmental approval, a problem that is chemi- cal in nature may be conducted outside the chemistry department. The student should see Dr. J. A. Deyrup in Chemistry to obtain approval for this option. Highest Honors can be awarded to students whose thesis and overall program are of exceptional merit. THE MINOR: The requirements for a Minor in Chemistry are a General Chemistry sequence, CHM 3120-3120L, CHM 3210-3211-3211L, and three (3) additional credits selected from CHM 3400, 3610, or any 4000 level CHM course, with a grade of C or bet- ter. A minimum of 9 hours must be completed at UF. OVERSEAS STUDY: Students interested in study abroad should consult with a department advis- er or the Overseas Studies Office in 123 Tigert. GENERAL EDUCATION: Successful comple- tion of any of the semesters of chemistry listed below will count toward satisfaction of the Physical Science General Education requirement. Non-science students who wish to learn something about the field of chem- istry are encouraged to take CHM 1020 which exam- ines the relationship of chemistry to modern society. Successful completion of CHM 1020 is a require- ment for registration in CHM 1021. PREPROFESSIONAL STUDENTS: (pre-med, pre-dent., etc.) Preprofessional students normally complete the minimum program and additional courses chosen with the help of the adviser. They are normally advised to obtain credit for BSC 2010C- 2011C and additional courses in the biological sci- ences. GENERAL CHEMISTRY: The following general chemistry sequences are offered: CHM 1020-1021, CHM 2040-2041-2045L-2046-2046L, CHM 2045-2045L- 2046-2046L, and CHM 2050-2045L-2051-2046L. CHM 1020-1021 is a terminal course not appro- priate for science and engineering students. All 2000 level General Chemistry students must have a functional command of High School Algebra II, MAC 1142, or the equivalent. A Readiness Test to aid in the placement of stu- dents into the proper general chemistry sequence must be taken prior to registration. Tests for a given term are given on the first day of early registration and on the first day of classes in the evening. Students must take the test on one of these days for entry in that term. The examination tests background in aspects of high school algebra and high school chem- istry. Admission to the 2000 level general chemistry sequence is contingent on achieving a certain mini- mum score on this test. Students scoring in excess of this minimum are advised to take the course for which they have qualified. Students who do not achieve the minimum score may repeat the test without prejudice but only for reg- istration in a subsequent term. CHM 2040-2041-2045L-2046-2046L is a three semester sequence designed for students having some background in high school chemistry who have achieved lower scores in the readiness test. Students with SAT scores between 900 and 1080 tend to fall in this category. CHM 2045-2045L-2046-2046L is a two semester sequence for students with adequate background in high school chemistry who have achieved higher scores in the readiness test. A minimum SAT score of 1080 total and 530 quantitative is generally necessary. This is the main stream General Chemistry sequence. CHM 2050-2045L-2051-2046L is the general chemistry honors course sequence. Students with scores of at least 85 on the chemistry readiness test are enrolled in CHM 2050. Students with high achieve- ment in CHM 2046 or its equivalent may be invited to join CHM 2051. Prospective transfer students are strongly encouraged to take all of their general chemistry work at a single institution. Most transfer students who have completed one semester or one or two quarters at another university or community college should register for CHM 2041-2045L rather than for CHM 2046-2046L. All students should make every effort to com- plete their general chemistry studies without interrup- tion between courses. Questions relating to the General Chemistry pro- gram should be directed to a Chemistry undergradu- ate adviser who may be contacted in CRB 340. Registered students must attend all scheduled classes and laboratories during the first week of class- es or notify their lecture instructor. Absentees will be assumed to be dropping and their place will be made available to students waiting to add the course. PRIORITY SYSTEM: In instances where the demand for enrollment exceeds the capacity of the available facilities and chemistry staff, a priority sys- tem will be used. The system favors those students making satisfactory progress through a particular course sequence. First priority will be given to stu- dents attempting to register for a course for the first time and, for second and subsequent courses, to those who have completed the preceding course with a grade of C or better. Second priority will be given to students who have previously registered for the course and to those who have completed the preced- ing course with a grade of D. Whenever this system needs to be implemented, students with first priority will be given first opportunity to add a course. Second priority students may add a course later in the drop/add period on a space available basis. In extreme cases it may be necessary to displace previ- ously registered students with second priority. HONORS COURSES: The Chemistry Depart- ment offers honors sequences paralleling its 2000 and 3000 level courses which offer superior students smaller classes and a more individualized and inten- sive educational opportunity. The various honor sequences are not prerequisite for each other-for example, one may apply for Organic Chemistry Honors after having completed any of the General Chemistry sequences. Students with above average performance records are encouraged to apply for enrollment in these courses. A number of 4000 level courses are offered each year which are appropriate for Junior and Senior students. Seniors may also apply to take graduate (5000 and 6000 level) courses. Because of the size of the department and its active graduate program,, a wide variety of opportunities exists for undergraduates to take advanced level course work and to conduct research.
