Concurrent Course
CHEM 105aLg: General Chemistry (4.0 units)

Fundamental principles and laws of chemistry; laboratory work emphasizes quantitative procedures. Prerequisite to all more advanced courses in chemistry. Lecture, 3 hours; laboratory and discussion, 4 hours. Quiz, 1 hour.

Prerequisite: CHEM 050
General Education: This course satisfies the university's general education requirement.
Note: Register for lecture, quiz and one lab. Concurrent enrollment in CHEM 050 or passing of Chemisry and Math Placement tests. All students are required to take Chemistry Placement test within past twenty-four months; if expired, sign up for test at language.usc.edu. This course carries GE credit but it is intended for a specific group of students rather than a general student audience. It is part of the curriculum for majors and pre-professional students. For lecture questions, email coord105@usc.edu. To be added to the lab waitlist, email Dr. Skibo (skibo@usc.edu) with the course (105a or 105b), your USC ID number and all the lab times (not section numbers) that fit in your schedule. The more flexible you are, the more likely you will get a spot in lab sooner.
