Courses in FIG:
UGST 109 FIG Seminar
Monday/Wednesday | 15:00-15:50 | 15424 | 1 Credit
In this FIG, you will begin your undergraduate experience with a collaborative research project. Together, we will create a ‘research lab group’ and solve a limitation of a scientific dataset. In small groups working concurrently towards our goal, you will analyze a genomics dataset from fishes to determine what types of cells are present as fish develop. We will learn how to work with this data together, covering how to look at data, code, read scientific papers, and present research. As a class, we will create a poster presentation for the Undergraduate Research Symposium and have the opportunity to present this research to the UO community in Spring of 2027.
Please note that the math placement test must be completed prior to students being eligible to enroll. Students planning to take Chem 150 only need to complete the math placement test, but are encouraged to complete both placement tests to ensure they are in the appropriate Chemistry class.
CH 150Z: Preparatory Chemistry
Science (>3) | Tuesday/Thursday | 12:00-13:20 | 11290 | 4 Credits
+Dis | Friday | 13:00-13:50 | 15724
This course is designed to introduce students to a limited number of chemistry topics and applied mathematics themes that will enable students to progress to the CH221, 222, 223 General Chemistry course sequence. Students in this course will learn to think like a chemist and will study phenomena in terms of macroscopic, sub-microscopic and symbolic interpretations and representations. In addition to lectures, there will be group work and on-line homework assignments, all of which are designed to build your basic knowledge and scaffold that knowledge to develop the critical thinking and problem solving skills that will lead to success in this and future science courses.
