LECTURE:

Review of key-concepts and principles, terminology, and calculations. The

lecture will contain material that complements and exceeds the textbook. Attendance is in any case beneficial because in lecture you will be introduced to practical tools such as rules of nomenclature, classes of chemical reactions, chemical mechanisms, and retrosynthesis. Any exam during the semester includes the additional material covered before that exam. HOWEVER, it is implied that, as we advance in this college-level course, more and more concepts will be combined, and that exams may have previous materials included along with the new material. After the course, the student will have learned the basic principles of organic chemistry including but not limited to chemical structure, isomerism, multi-step synthesis, and chemical reaction mechanisms.

LABORATORY:

A laboratory is a place to make mistakes! On first sight, this might

be an unpleasant thought but true learning (and, therefore, advancement!) only happens through mistakes. I strongly encourage you to accept the fact that mistakes will happen. With the right mindset and determination during an experiment, however, you will discover underlying principles on your own. This is a great way to self-evaluate your progress in organic chemistry as you grow more and more independent as a student! The laboratory introduces the student to basic practical skills required in any organic laboratory. The topics include but are not limited to physical evidence supporting the structural identity of compounds, synthesis and purification of new compounds, spectroscopy, and good laboratory practice. After the laboratory the student will be able to carry out simple organic chemical reactions and isolate/purify the product as well as collect evidence confirming the products identity. The student will also be able to assess the danger associated with certain chemicals. The student will become aware of the importance of laboratory safety and will contribute to an overall safe working environment.

LAB SCHEDULE

The laboratory is scheduled daily from 10:00-1:00 pm. The details of the laboratory schedule are outlined in a separate LAB SYLLABUS.

GRADING Your grade for CHEM 121 will be based on your performance on examinations and in the laboratory. Lecture attendance will not be considered for final grade determination. Attendance of laboratory is required. There will be NO make-up exams! It is in your best interest to take all chances given to you to do well. The following breakdown of points applies: Exams: Final: Laboratory: Total: 4 x 100 1 x 300 1 x 300 = 400 = 300 = 300 = 1,000

Your final overall grade will be determined by the total of accumulated laboratory and lecture points. Failure of either the laboratory or the lecture portion of CHEM 121 constitutes a failing grade for the course. Any legitimate request for grade change MUST be submitted within ONE WEEK after the final exam.

UNIVERSITY HONOR CODE

The University Honor Code is an essential element in academic integrity. It is a violation of the Honor Code to give or receive information from another student during

examination; to use unauthorized sources during an examination; or to submit all or part of someone elses work or idea as ones own. If a student violates the Honor Code, the faculty member may refer the matter to the Office of Student Life. If found guilty, the student may be penalized with failure of the assignment or failure of the course. The student may also be reprimanded or suspended from the University. A complete statement of the Honor Code may be found in the Student Handbook, Tiger Lore.

WELCOME TO THE CLASS!!

I fully expect that we will work well together, that you will learn the basics of organic chemistry, and that the experience will be enjoyable for you. Chemistry has been described accurately as PRACTICE IN THINKING. I trust that you will not connect the results of your efforts in this class (i.e. your grade) with your sense of self worth, but that you will give the class your best shot and that you will be content with the results of this effort.
