Chemistry 336: Honors Organic Chemistry Required Text: Organic Chemistry, Maitland Jones,
Jr. Office Hours: Mondays, 0930-1020 and Thursdays, 0930-1020 in Bagley 209. We have three TAs for the course each of whom will also have at least one office hour. The times and locations for these will be posted on our bulletin board during the first week of instruction. The bulletin board for the course is on the wall opposite Bagley 261. You are strongly encouraged to utilize these office hours for questions. Lectures: The purpose of each lecture is to complement the assigned reading, not to regurgitate what you've read. Implicit in this statement is that you are expected to have read the assigned reading prior to lecture. Although many of the major concepts contained within the reading will be discussed in class, some material will not be discussed explicitly. However, you are responsible for all the material contained within the assigned reading. In addition, some material not contained within the text will be introduced in lectures. You will also be responsible for the additional material presented in these lectures. Homework: Selected problems from the end of each chapter are assigned. Additional problems will be assigned in lecture. Your solutions to these problems will NOT be collected and graded. Answers to the text problems can be found in the Study Guide and the answers to the additional problems will be posted on the bulletin board. Exams and Grading: There will be three 50-minute exams during the quarter and a final comprehensive 110-minute exam. Each of the three 50-minute exams is worth 100 points. The final exam is worth 200 points. It is unlikely that final grades will assigned based on a curve. If you feel that a problem on an exam has been incorrectly graded, it must be returned no later than one week after it's been returned to you in class. Only obvious errors in grading that are clearly substantiated in writing will be considered. Disabled Students: If you would like to request academic accommodations due to a disability, please contact Disabled Student Services, 448 Schmitz, 543-8924 (V/TDD). If you have a letter from Disabled Student Services indicating you have a disability that requires academic accommodations, please present the letter to me so we can discuss the accommodations you might need for class. |
