The laboratory, CHML 211, is normally taken concurrently with the lecture, but is a separate one credit-hour course requiring separate enrollment and grading. Text: Organic Chemistry, Sixth Edition by John McMurray. Also highly recommended is the Study Guide and Solutions Manual for Organic Chemistry, Sixth Edition, by Susan McMurray. It is very important that you are able to check your answers to assigned problems with the study guide. Both of these books should be available in the bookstore.Grading Policy: There will be four 45-minute exams, each at 100 points and one comprehensive final exam at 100 points. The top three scores from the 45-minute exams will be averaged with the cumulative final exam. The lowest 45-minute exam will be dropped. An absence at a 45-minute exam counts as the dropped exam. There will be no make up exams. The 45-minute exams will constitute 75% of the grade and the final will constitute 25% of the grade. Exams 2- 4 will likely contain one review question from the previous test (not necessarily an identical repeat, but a very similar question).Tentative grading scale:Average Grade90-100 A80-89 B70-79 C60-69 D< 60 FAttendance & Homework: Attendance is expected, but not officially monitored for grading purposes. Homework problems will be assigned, but not collected. Actively working on the homework problems allows you to test whether you understand the material and serves as a review guide for the exams.Academic Honesty: No form of dishonesty will be tolerated. Further details may be found in the current Student Handbook, Code of Student Life and in the Faculty Handbook.Approximate Schedule:Approximate schedule ofchapters coveredThursday 15-May First class C1Friday 16-May C2Monday 19-May C2,3Tuesday 20-May C3Wednesday 21-May T1 C3Thursday 22-May C4Friday 23-May C4,5Monday 26-May HolidayTuesday 27-May C5,6Wednesday 28-May C6Thursday 29-May T2 C6Friday 30-May C6Monday 2-Jun C7Tuesday 3-Jun C7Wednesday 4-Jun C8Thursday 5-Jun T3 C8Friday 6-Jun C9Monday 9-Jun C9Tuesday 10-Jun C10Wednesday 11-Jun C11Thursday 12-Jun T4 C11Friday 13-Jun C12Monday 16-Jun Last day of classes C14Tuesday 17-Jun Final ExamC1 Homework: 10, 13, 14, 16, 39C2 Homework: 2, 8, 10a,b,d, 15, 20, 21, 37a,b,eC3 Homework: 1, 2, 11, 12, 15, 16, 18(make sure you know Table 3.1 and 3.3 through decane)C4 Homework: 2,4,12,17C5 Homework 2,7,16C6 Homework 3,4,5,6,11,13,15C7 Homework 3,7,8-10,12-15C8 Homework 1a-c, 3-6, 8,9,14C9 Homework 7,8,11,14,22C10 Homework 1,2,3,5,12,13C11 Homework 1,2,4,15,16,20C12 (skip pages 393- 402) Homework 11,12C13 skip C13C14 Homework
