This course surveys the history of the United States from the colonial period through Reconstruction. Emphasis will be placed on the history of the country with a focus on the role and participation of women in the development of American society, its social, political, and economic institutions. Field trips may be required. Transfer credit: CSU; UC. Formerly: HIST V02A.

This course is a survey of basic chemistry topics, including measurements, physical and chemical properties, the periodic table, nomenclature, chemical reactions, atomic and molecular structure, states of matter, and solutions. This course also serves as an introduction to laboratory techniques and chemical laboratory safety with experiments that illustrate typical chemical reactions and the principles covered in the lecture, with a focus on hands-on qualitative and quantitative experiments. Prerequisites: MATH V01 with grade of C or better, or placement as determined by the college's multiple measures assessment process. Recommended Prep: MATH V03. Formerly: CHEM V20; CHEM V20L. Transfer credit: CSU; UC.

This course stresses molecular structure, chemical and physical properties, and the preparation of organic compounds with an emphasis on reaction mechanisms, structure determination, synthesis, and applications. In addition, this course covers the utilization of the techniques of experimental organic chemistry, including physical and chemical methods of purification, separation, and structure determination, with an emphasis on synthesis and mechanisms. Spectroscopic techniques for structural elucidation are used extensively in this course. Field trips may be required. Prerequisites: CHEM V120B with a grade of C or better, or CHEM V01B with a grade of C or better and CHEM V01BL with a grade of C or better. Transfer credit: CSU; UC. Formerly: CHEM V12A; CHEM V12AL.
