Oncea student meets the prerequisites for CHEM 121N, they may self-register for the course. When registering for the course, students must choose a CHEM 121N lecture section, a CHEM 121N recitation section with the same instructor as the chosen lecture section, and a CHEM 122N lab.
The Chemistry Placement exam is a 50 minute, 50 question, multiple choice, online exam that tests your math and chemistry background. It covers content that is typically covered in a high school chemistry course. The purpose of the exam is to determine if you are prepared to take and be successful in CHEM 121N.
The chemistry placement exam is required for all students who want to enroll in CHEM 121N unless a student chooses to take CHEM 103 or has already received credit for CHEM 121N trough transfer or AP credit.
While it is not necessary to prepare for the placement exam, preparing specifically for the exam may allow you to receive a passing grade. The goal of this exam is to determine if you have adequate preparation for success in CHEM 121N, Foundations of Chemistry I, based on what you have retained from previous studies.
Results of the placement exam will be immediately available to students in the "Grades" section of the Placement Exam Blackboard Organization. The scores will be uploaded to student records nightly. Please allow 24 hours to view your score on Banner and LeoOnline.
5 - A student who scores a 5 is well-prepared for the course and has a good chance of doing well in CHEM 121N as long as they put forth the effort throughout the course. Students with a score of a 5 can still review the modules available in the Canvas course.
4 - A student scoring a 4 is reasonably prepared for the course, and with hard work they should be successful in CHEM 121N. These students may want to refresh their knowledge with the learning modules available in the Chemistry Placement Exam Canvas Course.
3 - A score of a 3 is the minimum passing score on the placement exam. While a student with a score of a 3 is determined to be prepared, this does not guarantee success in the course. Students in this category will have to work especially hard to be successful and should work through the learning modules before starting the course.
1 and 2 - Scores of 1 or 2 are failing scores on the placement exam. Students scoring a 1 or a 2 will not be able to register for CHEM 121N until they complete one of the following options:
The chemistry review modules are a set of modules that are designed to reteach some of the basic knowledge students learned in a first year high school chemistry course. The modules are broken down into units, which are further broken down into lessons. Each lesson contains a PowerPoint lecture for the students to view at their own pace, a video presentation of the lecture for students to watch, and a pdf copy of the lecture for students to printout for their notes. After reviewing the information in the lesson, students will have a short assignment associated with that lesson. After each unit, students will take a comprehensive unit test. Finally, at the end of the course, students will take a comprehensive final exam.
As chemistry is a subject that continuously builds upon prior knowledge, subsequent lessons only become available after students successfully complete the prior lesson with a score of 80% or better. Similarly, completion of a unit requires an 80% on the unit test and completion of the course requires an 80% on the final exam. Students may retake an assignment, a test, or the final exam as many times as they like. While students may use their notes for any of the exercises, they should be able to complete them without too much assistance. If a student finds that they are not able to get through the modules, they should take CHEM 103 to meet their prerequisite for CHEM 121N. The modules become available in the Canvas course after a student takes the Chemistry Placement Exam. After a student achieves an 80% or better on the review modules final exam, they will have met the Chemistry prerequisite for CHEM 121N. Scores for the review modules final exam will be loaded to student records nightly throughout the semester. Please allow 24 hours to view your score on Banner and LeoOnline.
Students will participate in a variety of learning experiences, including laboratory experiments, discussions, projects, independent research, and appropriate use of community resources. Ethical and social issues related to the marine environment and anthropogenic-induced climate change will be addressed.
This course qualifies for the extra honors grade point credit. This course has a strong emphasis on having students demonstrate mathematical and conceptual understanding through problem solving, laboratory investigations and projects. Through this course, students are encouraged to take the AP Physics 1 exam offered by the College Board.

The AP Physics C course will cover enough content for two AP tests over the course of a year. AP Physics C is designed to be equivalent to first year college courses in mechanics and in electricity and magnetism that would typically be taken by students majoring in the physical sciences or engineering. This course is an in-depth study of the fundamental theories and laws of classical physics with emphasis on problem-solving skills. Calculus is an integral part of the course. The specific content is determined by the College Board AP Program and due to limited time the topics that appear on the AP test will be emphasized.
The A.P. Biology course is designed to be the equivalent of a general freshman level biology course taken during the first year of college. The course focus will be on the following four ideas based on the California Science & College Board AP Biology Frameworks: 1)The process of evolution drives the diversity and unity of life. 2) Biological systems utilize energy and molecular building blocks to grow, to reproduce, and to maintain homeostasis. 3) Living systems store, retrieve, transmit, and respond to information essential to life processes. 4) Biological systems interact, and these interactions possess complex properties.
Prerequisite: Completion of or co-enrollment in Physics of the Universe or AP Physics 1, with teacher recommendation and a recommended grade of A in Living Earth and Chemistry or a recommended grade of B or higher in Honors Living Earth and Honors Chemistry.
This AP course is approved and certified by the College Board. The AP Chemistry course is designed to be the equivalent of the general inorganic chemistry course usually taken during the first year in college. It is required that all students satisfactorily complete the lab component of this class. Labs are scheduled during after school hours approximately every-other week. Students earn an extra grade point upon passing of course. AP Chemistry students attain a depth of understanding of chemistry fundamentals and of laboratory experiences that go beyond what is covered in first year chemistry. All major topics of chemistry are covered. Upon successful completion of this course, students should be well prepared for the AP Chemistry Exam and also have a solid foundation for a successful career in the sciences, medicine, and engineering.
AP Environmental Science is designed to provide students with the scientific principles, concepts, and methodologies required to understand the interrelationships of the natural world. Environmental science is interdisciplinary and embraces a wide variety of topics from different areas of study including the earth systems and resources, the living world, population, land and water, energy resources and consumption, pollution, and global change.
The problem occurred in the examination halls of grade twelve during chemistry test for Kurdish schools which caused panic among students, half of them forced to leave exam halls. Later, some of the students and their relatives gathered in front of the Kirkuk citadel for this purpose.
Alan Rahman, a grade 12 student, told KirkukNow that the problem was repeated every year in Kurdish education under the Iraqi Ministry of Education MOE, but this year the problem was bigger in chemistry.
The successive wars and disputes have affected education sector as most of the schools teaching in Arabic language, the main language of the country, are funded by the federal government in Baghdad while those teaching in Kurdish are supported by the Kurdistan Regional Government KRG.
The deterioration of public services and sectors have pushed investors to launch private schools, local and international, which was warmly welcomed by middle and high classes all over Iraq, in particular the Kurdistan region of Iraq KRI.
"The questions worth 40 marks were out of the program. Those who prepare the tests are accountable," Omid Mohammed, an MP of New Generation bloc in the Iraqi parliament, said during the protests in Kirkuk, without providing any credible evidence.
Sherzad Rashid Kaka, director of Kurdish education in the Kirkuk General Directorate of Education, told Kirkuk Now, Yes, some people say that external questions were noticed and we asked the expert Kurdish committee in the ministry to file a report to the ministry.
Early June, The Iraqi ministry of education has ordered installation of surveillance cameras at the offices of public-school principals to monitor abnormal moves such as loss of documents, leakage of exam questions, or any other problems related to the treatment of school administration with students and their relatives.
