The
Chemistry Resource Center
available on CD-ROM ... NOW!!!
Introduction:
This site is designed to be a resource for anyone who is interested in
Chemistry. It was prepared in response to students' enthusiasm towards using the
the concept of hypermedia and the World-Wide Web (WWW) as a learning tool.
Many programs at the British Columbia Institute
of Technology (BCIT) require high school Chemistry 11 or equivalent for admission.
Students who wish to enroll in any of these programs at BCIT frequently ask
if their background knowledge in Chemistry is adequate for entry into first
year BCIT Chemistry courses. The main goals of the Chemistry Resource Center
is to establish a base-line of adequate Chemistry knowledge for admission into
first year programs at BCIT and to enable learners to assess their own knowledge
in Chemistry.
The Chemistry Resource Center is best viewed at minimum, 800x600 resolution using
a Netscape web browser.
Wherever you are at this site, to navigate back to a previous screen
in a window frame, click on your right
mouse button, select "BACK" on the pop-up box to back up to the previous
screen.
As you navigate this site, click on the buttons and new windows pop
up. Remember to close all pop-up windows after using them, otherwise,
subsequent buttons may or may not function.
The Chemistry Resource Center is an on-line facility available to all
who wish to assess and/or upgrade their Chemistry skills. It is a 24-hour on-line
multi-media tutor to direct students to find textbook references, interesting
WWW links and to guide them to solve Chemistry problems.
The Chemistry Resource Center contains the following sections:
1.
Pictures and descriptions of more than 100 elements
of the periodic table.
2.
Page references to three Chemistry textbooks
on topics that students should have as background knowledge when entering
a first year program requiring Chemistry at BCIT.
To the students who are considering enrolment
into programs that require Chemistry prerequisites
at BCIT:
You are encouraged to assess your Chemistry knowledge with the on-line
asssessment test. It is a ten-question multiple-choice test that you
can submit your answers for on-line marking. The score that you receive
on-line is strictly for your own personal information.
Upon finding out your score on the assessment test,
You may wish to upgrade your Chemistry skills by doing the interactive
problems and doing some reading
on the areas that you need upgrading. Then try again.
You may wish to purchase the CD-ROM to access the interactive online
self-assessment test bank for further studying.
You may wish to enroll in the pre-entry CHEM
0010 course that is offered two times a year
January to April
April to August.
This is a refresher course in Chemistry and is equivalent to a high-school
Chemistry 11 course.
The author would like to thank the BCIT Instructional
Development Committee for funding the proposal for developing this on-line Chemistry
Resource Center web site. This work was carried out under the British Columbia
Institute of Technology Instructional Enhancement Grant.
