14BL
Chemistry 14BL is the first of two laboratory courses designed specifically for Life Science majors. Many students in the chemistry 14 series sequence are planning to enter the medical science fields upon graduation.
The design of the course is, therefore, tailored to teach students the laboratory skills that are necessary to be successful in the life science fields and the medical science fields. In addition to teaching students the proper laboratory techniques, conceptual understandings of the chemistry behind the experiments are evaluated through writen reports, midterm exam or quizzes as well as a final exam.

The department generally offers Chemistry 14BL three times (Fall, Winter, and Spring quarter) during the academic year. Note: Tentative course schedules SHOULD NOT be used as a definite guide to plan your future class schedules.
