  • CHDV 36800: Gestural Communication in Nonhuman and Human Primates

    3.00 Credits
    University of Chicago

    This seminar explores the communicative use of nonverbal behavior in human and nonhuman primates. Topics include evolutionary, comparative, and cross-cultural aspects of facial expressions and gestures; comparative and cognitive aspects of eye gaze and pointing; the relation between nonverbal behavior and emotion; the development of nonverbal communication in children; the contextual usage and information content of nonverbal expressions; the relation between nonverbal gestures and speech; the neural control of facial expressions; and the perception and processing of nonverbal information in the brain. S. Goldin-Meadow, D. Maestripieri. Autumn.

  • CHDV 37500-37502-37503: Research Seminar in Animal Behavior I,II,III

    3.00 Credits
    University of Chicago

    Students register for this course in Autumn Quarter and receive credit in Spring Quarter after successful completion of the year's work. This workshop involves weekly research seminars in animal behavior given by faculty members, postdocs, and advanced graduate students from this and other institutions. The seminars are followed by discussion in which students have the opportunity to interact with the speaker, ask questions about the presentation, and share information about their work. This workshop exposes students to current comparative research in behavioral biology and provides interactions with some of the leading scientists in this field. D. Maestripieri. Autumn, Winter, Spring. (A)

  • CHDV 38101-38102: Anthropology of Museums I,II

    3.00 Credits
    University of Chicago

    PQ: Advanced standing and consent of instructor. This sequence examines museums from a variety of perspectives.

  • CHEM 10100-10200-10300: Introductory General Chemistry I,II,III

    2.00 Credits
    University of Chicago

    PQ: Enrollment limited to first-year students. Enrollment by placement only. The first two courses in this sequence meet the general education requirement in the physical sciences. Not recommended for students majoring in Chemistry or Biological Chemistry. A systematic introduction to chemistry for beginning students in chemistry or for those whose exposure to the subject has been moderate. Apart from one discussion session per week and a laboratory component, special emphasis on scientific problem-solving skills is made through two additional structured learning sessions per week devoted to quantitative reasoning. Attendance at discussion, structured learning, and laboratory sessions is mandatory. The three-quarter sequence covers atomic and molecular theories, chemical periodicity, chemical reactivity and bonding, chemical equilibria, acid-base equilibria, solubility equilibria, phase equilibria, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, kinetics, quantum mechanics, and nuclear chemistry. Examples are drawn from chemical, biological, and materials systems. The laboratory portion includes an introduction to quantitative measurements, investigation of the properties of the important elements and their compounds, and experiments associated with the common ions and their separation and identification. L. Butler, Autumn; K. Y. C. Lee, Winter; L. Yu, Spring. L: M. Zhao.

    2.00 Credits
    University of Chicago

    PQ: Good performance on the mathematics/calculus and chemistry placement tests. Enrollment by placement only. The first two courses in this sequence meet the general education requirement in the physical sciences. A comprehensive survey of modern descriptive, inorganic, and physical chemistry for students with a good secondary school exposure to general chemistry. One discussion session per week and a laboratory component. Attendance at discussion and laboratory sessions is mandatory. The three-quarter sequence covers atomic and molecular theories, chemical periodicity, chemical reactivity and bonding, chemical equilibria, acid-base equilibria, solubility equilibria, phase equilibria, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, kinetics, quantum mechanics, and nuclear chemistry.

  • CHEM 12100-12200-12300: Honors General Chemistry I,II,III

    2.00 Credits
    University of Chicago

    PQ: Good performance on the chemistry placement test or a score of 5 on the AP chemistry test. Enrollment by placement only. The first two courses in this sequence meet the general education requirement in the physical sciences. The subject matter and general program of this sequence is similar to that of the Comprehensive General Chemistry sequence. However, this accelerated course on the subject matter is designed for students deemed well prepared for a thorough and systematic study of chemistry. Introductory materials covered in the Comprehensive General Chemistry sequence are not part of the curriculum for this sequence; instead, special topics are included in each quarter to provide an in-depth examination of various subjects of current interest in chemistry. One discussion session per week and a laboratory component. Attendance at discussion and laboratory sessions is mandatory. G. Engel, Autumn; A. Dinner, Winter; N. Scherer, Spring. L: M. Zhao.

The extraordinarily diverse chemistry of the elements is organized in terms of molecular structure, electronic properties, and chemical reactivity. CHEM 20100 concentrates on structure and bonding, solid state chemistry, and selected topics in the chemistry of the main group elements and coordination chemistry. CHEM 20200 focuses on organometallic chemistry, reactions, synthesis, and catalysis, as well as bioinorganic chemistry. G. Hillhouse, Winter; R. Jordan, Spring.

  • CHEM 22000-22100-22200: Organic Chemistry I,II,III

    3.00 Credits
    University of Chicago

    PQ: An average grade of C or higher in CHEM 10100-10200-10300 or CHEM 11100-11200-11300 or CHEM 12100-12200-12300, a 5 on the AP Chemistry exam, or consent of the department. (Students who receive a grade of B+ or higher in CHEM 22000 have the option of moving into honors organic chemistry for Winter/Spring. See following listing for CHEM 23100-23200.) NOTE: Most medical schools require a full academic year of organic chemistry. The fundamental structures of organic molecules and the spectroscopic methods used to define them are studied. A comprehensive understanding of the reactions and properties of organic molecules (from kinetic, thermodynamic, and mechanistic viewpoints) is developed and applied to the synthesis of organic compounds and to an appreciation of nature's important molecules. A lab is one afternoon a week in addition to scheduled class time each quarter. H. Yamamoto, Autumn; V. Rawal, Winter; J. Piccirilli, Spring. L: V. Keller.
