My experience in NSCI 100 immersed me in the foundational principles of chemistry and the physical sciences, guiding me through essential calculations and formulas while emphasizing the reasoning behind them. 

This course reinforced my understanding of what I thought before was strange concepts and strengthen my critical thinking and analytical abilities. By making sense of the “why”, rather than just memorizing facts, NSCI 100 truly served as a vital steppingstone and allows me to feel prepared and confident for more advanced coursework in upcoming chemistry or science related studies.

The NSCI 100 course is vital for students, as it lays the groundwork for understanding the fundamental principles of physics and chemistry. This foundational knowledge not only enhances critical thinking and analytical skills but also fosters a deeper appreciation scientific disciplines.
