Lecture: 1. Organic Chemistry, 7th Ed., L. G. Wade, Jr. Laboratory: 1. Introduction to Organic Laboratory Techniques : A Small-Scale Approach, 3rd edition, Pavia/Lampman/Kriz/Engel, 2011, ISBN 978-1-4390-4932-7 Problem Solving (Chem 202): No textbook is required Grading
Your course grade will be based on your lecture grade (75%) and your lab grade (25%). Your lecture grade (1000 points total) will be based on four in-class exams (200 points each, each is 20% of your lecture grade and, 15% of your course grade) and a comprehensive final examination (200 points, 20% of your lecture grade, 15% of your course grade) and your laboratory grade (25% of your course grade). The final exam will be the American Chemical Society standardized exam in organic chemistry. The final exam CAN NOT be dropped or replaced with another grade. You will have the opportunity to drop ONE laboratory quiz grade if your attendance is satisfactory (see below). You will have the opportunity to drop ONE laboratory experiment grade if your attendance is satisfactory (see below). Four exams
(80% of your lecture grade
60% of your course grade)
Final examination
(20% of your lecture grade
15% of your course grade)
Laboratory grade
(0% of your lecture grade
25% of your course grade) (100% course grade)
There will be absolutely NO make-ups for exams or laboratory experiments. If you miss an exam your final exam will count twice as much (40% of your lecture grade). If you miss a laboratory experiment that will be your dropped laboratory write-up. If you miss more than one laboratory experiment you will be assigned a grade of zero for that assignment. If you miss more than one Chemistry 212

examination, the points for that assignment will also be placed on your final exam making your final exam a greater proportion of your course grade. The last drop date for the course is March 29, 2013. Grading will be based on a standard percentage scale: 100-90 = A; 89-80 = B; 79-70 = C; 69-60 = D; 59-below = F. Dishonest scholarship will earn an automatic zero (0) and initiate prosecution to the fullest extent. Incomplete grades may be given only if the student has a current average ≥70% and is precluded from completion of the course by a documented illness or family crisis. CLASS ATTENDANCE POLICY: All students are expected to attend classes on a regular basis and attendance will be recorded. The Department of Chemistry adheres to the attendance policy set by the University as stated in the most current Undergraduate Catalog. Being late by more than 5 minutes is equivalent to missing a lecture. Excessive absence is defined as missing more than 10% of the lectures without excusable reasons. Excessive absence will be reported to the Dean of the College and the Dean of Students. In addition, according to the TAMU-Commerce Procedure A13.02., good class attendance will be necessary in order to pass the course. If you miss more than 3 lectures prior to the first exam, I reserve the right to drop you from the course. If you miss more than 6 lectures throughout the course of the semester, I reserve the right to drop you from the course. If you miss more than 6 lectures, you will lose the right to drop a laboratory experiment. If you do not sign the sign-in sheet, you will be counted absent whether you were actually in class or not. CLASSROOM BEHAVIOR: Disorderly conduct which interferes with the normal classroom atmosphere will not be tolerated. The classroom instructor is the judge of such behavior and may instruct a disorderly student to leave the room with an unexcused absence or in more serious situations a student may be removed from the class with a failing grade. CHEATING AND OTHER BREACHES OF ACADEMIC CONDUCT: Academic cheating, plagiarism, and other forms of academic misconduct may result in removal of the student from class with a failing grade or may in extreme cases result in suspension or expulsion from the University as described in the “Code of Student Conduct” section of the “ Student’s Guidebook”. ADA ELIGIBLE STUDENTS: ADA eligible students should make arrangements with the instructor in the first week of the semester about special arrangements needed for classroom or testing facilities and procedures to accommodate the disability.

åUseful Learning Techniques 1. Read the chapter before class 2. Attend all lectures 3. Take good class notes 4. Ask questions in class if the material is not understood 5. Read the chapter several times 6. Correct ALL quizzes and exams & review them!!! 7. Work all of the in-text problems 8. Work ALL of the chapter end problems 9. Study consistently!! 10. Use supplemental material/questions (Internet, other textbooks, etc.)
11. Use flash cards 12. Use a study group (3-5 people) 13. Take advantage of instructor's office hours 14. Take notes as you read the chapters 15. Summarize your lecture notes 16. Try the learning center (test anxiety/tutor) 17. Get a tutor 18. Use molecular models 19. Use instructors review notes/problems
This course demands the utmost in disciplined study habits, diligence in working problems, and the commitment to learn and understand the material. The only way to understand organic chemistry is to attend lecture and take quality notes, work problems, ask questions, and work more problems! It is NOT a good idea to memorize solutions to problems. Rather, you should learn the concept such that you can apply it to the understanding of similar problems. The quizzes and exams will focus on current material and may include problems similar to those found in the text. DO NOT GET BEHIND!!!! Work LOTS of problems…then work some more!! The 3-dimensional structure of molecules will be of continual importance and model kits are highly recommended to help you to visualize. The Darling models are inexpensive and well suited to this class. The Allyn and Bacon model sets are also fine. Students planning to take Biochemistry may want to purchase the more expensive HGS model set that may be useful later on. You are encouraged to bring models to all exams. We will cover chapters 1-11 as scheduled in the outline. Refer to the solutions manual only after you have tried working the problem.
Course Objectives By the end of the semester I intend for my students to have realized a number of objectives. 1. Know how to determine the structure of an organic molecule using spectroscopic techniques such as NMR, IR, UV/vis and MS. 2. Relate the structure and functional groups found in a given molecule to their physical and chemical properties. This includes learning to predict the reactivity of molecules. 3. Gain a perspective of the role organometallic reagents play in organic chemistry by using these reagents for organic synthesis. 4. Learn methods for interconversion of functional groups and the synthesis of some simple molecules from more readily available materials. This is important, as nature does not provide everything we need but it does make the raw materials for their synthesis available. 5. Know mechanistic pathways in organic reactions such as substitution, elimination and addition. 6. Know the importance of organic chemistry and its relationship to various other disciplines such as biochemistry and medicinal chemistry and our daily lives. Chemistry 212

Assigned Homework Problems Organic chemistry is a problem-solving course. The problems given within the text of each chapter are designed to test your understanding as you read. You should work these problems as you read (some of the answers to these questions are provided at the back of the textbook). The end-of-the-chapter problems are more comprehensive, and represent the kind of questions you will see on exams. Several questions from each chapter (10-25) listed here are assigned as homework. These problems will not be collected nor graded because the answers are available in the solutions manual that accompanies the textbook. It is extremely important that you WORK THESE PROBLEMS because this will be the best way for you to access your understanding of the material. You should get started on these problems AS SOON AS POSSIBLE so that you will have plenty of time to understand them. Yes, the answers are given in the study guide, but this false “short-cut” (copying answers) leads directly to failing grades. The procedure outlined below provides a proven method for developing your problem solving skills: 1. After reading the text and working all of the in-text problems find a quiet desk and attempt to solve the assigned problems in an EXAM STYLE situation, just you, your model set, and a pencil. Set a timer for 50 minutes and try working the problems. Do not look back in your book, talk to anyone else about it, or be within 25 ft of the solution manual. Not all problems have the same level of difficulty, so if you get stuck on one, move on to the next (just like you do on an exam to get the best score). Go back and work the problems you had difficulty with before, and see if you can now solve them. If you can't, you now know what to review in the next step. 2. REVIEW your class notes covering the material and the appropriate sections from the text, and use this information to try to solve the problems again. Don't get within 25 ft of the solutions manual or you will terminate the development of your problem solving abilities. 3. DISCUSS your work with other students from the class in SMALL GROUPS OF 4-5 OR FEWER. The formation of effective study groups is a great way to facilitate learning. Talk about the problems you have solved, and the ones you still haven't figured out. Visit the PROFESSOR during office hours, bring your notebook and show what you have tried to do. Visit the TEACHING ASSISTANT (if applicable) for further discussion. 4. The last stage in the process is to CHECK YOUR ANSWERS against those from the solutions manual / posted answers. Do you agree with the answers given and the way they were solved? By following this plan you will develop effective problem solving skills and build confidence in your abilities, so that you will be ready for exam day. Chapter 10:
