    Goodwin Introduction to aspects of gases, colligative properties, chemical kinetics, equilibrium, and spectrophotometry. Open to first-year students. Prerequisite: q. Corequisite: CHEM 102. Offered Term 2. ( Q, SCI)
  • 2.00 Credits

    Kalra Introduction to selected aspects of synthesis, classical and instrumental analysis, safety, and the laboratory notebook. Open to first-year students. Prerequisite: q. Corequisite: CHEM 105. Offered Term 1. ( Q, SCI)
  • 4.00 Credits

    Kalra This class is mainly a hands-on class. It introduces the student to some of the chemistry background, the analytical techniques, and instruments used in the chemical analysis of environmental pollutants. Meetings: Lecture 1.5 hr., lab 3 hrs. Open to first-year students. Prerequisite: q, one to two years of high school chemistry. Also listed as ES 112. Offered both terms. ( Q, SCI)
  • 4.00 Credits

    Kalra This is a hands-on course where students spend one afternoon a week in the laboratory working on such problems as how to tell if a glass of water is Evian or good old water from a Hollins fountain, how much acid you consume when you drink a can of soda, how much aspirin is in a Bufferin or Anacin tablet, or is there any aspirin in these tablets at all. These and other problems are dealt with using some simple and some advanced laboratory instruments. The oncea- week lecture is used to look at the chemistry behind the experimental work. Prerequisites: q, one year of high school chemistry. Not offered in 2008-09. ( Q, SCI)

    Boatman Forensic science is any science used in public, in court, or in the justice system-any science used for the purposes of the law. Forensic scientists are involved in all aspects of criminal cases; their work serves both the defense and the prosecution. The forensic scientist's goal is the evenhanded use of all available information to determine the facts and, subsequently, the truth. This interdisciplinary course will explore and give students hands-on experience with many areas of scientific activity in forensics where laboratory and field investigation are important. Not intended for students majoring in biology or chemistry. Open to first-year students. No prerequisite. Offered Term 2. ( o, SCI)

    Boatman, Diefenderfer In January 2005 in Cambridge, Mass., Harvard president Lawrence Summers said that innate differences between men and women might be one reason fewer women than men succeed in science and math careers. Contrary to his remarks, many women at Hollins excel in science and mathematics. In this course, we will investigate successful women mathematicians', scientists', andphysicians' styles of leadership in research, education, academic administration, business, and government. We shall learn about women who have been leaders in the past (e.g. Sister Kenny, Virginia Apgar, Rachel Carson, Barbara McClintock) and hear from women who are currently leaders in their fields. Students will read about theories of leadership and learn about the diversity of experiences among, and skills shared by, women math, science and medical leaders. They will develop a Web site about women scientists and mathematicians that includes alumnae histories and a catalog of alumnae who will serve as mentors to current undergraduates. Students will use problems that have been studied by well-known scientists and mathematicians in short projects that give them experience with some "thinking tools" such asobserving, abstracting, recognizing patterns, imaging, analogizing, and modeling. Placement to be determined during the summer. Also listed as GWS 197F. Offered Term 1. ( o, r )
  • 4.00 Credits

    Kalra An introduction to the basic processes of chemical analysis and the theories that govern them. Prerequisites: CHEM 105 and CHEM 105L (or CHEM 102 and CHEM 102L). Offered Term 2. (SCI: must take lab to fulfill SCI)
  • 2.00 Credits

    Kalra This course will introduce you to different analytical techniques used in the academic, industrial, and government laboratories. You will learn to separate components of a mixture and analyze them quantitatively using procedures from those involving gravimetry to such state-of-the-art instruments as atomic absorption and diode array spectrophotometers and FID gas chromatograph. Prerequisite: q. Corequisite: CHEM 214. Offered Term 2. ( Q, SCI)
  • 2.00 Credits

    Boatman Introduction to the procedures involved in preparing, purifying, separating, and analyzing simple organic compounds using microscale techniques. Introduction to the use of gas chromatography for qualitative and quantitative analysis and of infrared spectrophotometry for structural analysis of organic compounds. Corequisite: CHEM 221. Offered Term 1.
  • 4.00 Credits

    Boatman Organic reactions and their mechanisms. Prerequisites: CHEM 221 and CHEM 221L. Offered Term 2.
