General Chemistry: Taught in less than one full year

Submitted by Eric Watson / Seattle University on Fri, 07/12/2013 - 14:29

Hello,

I would be grateful to hear from college programs that teach less than one full year of General Chemistry.  At present, we teach 3 quarters of General Chemistry (Zumdahl and Zumdahl), a one quarter Fundamental Inorganic Chemistry (Rayner-Canham and Overton) and a one quarter Advanced Inorganic Chemistry (Shriver and Atkins).

We are exploring the possibility of shortening our general chemistry sequence to 2 quarters and then combining the topics usually covered in the third quarter into Fundamental Inorganic Chemistry course and other courses.
