329 every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 8:00-8:50 AM. Instructor: Tom Nalli (Pasteur 350, 457-2476,
tnalli@winona.edu) Required/Recommended Materials* - Organic Chemistry by David R. Klein; Wiley, 2011. ISBN-10: 0471756148 (required) - Student Study Guide and Solutions Manual to Accompany Organic Chemistry, by David R. Klein. (A copy of this manual will be available for checkout at the reserve desk in the library.) (recommended) - Techniques in Organic Chemistry, 3rd ed. by Mohrig, Hammond, and Schatz. Freeman, New York, 2011. ISBN-10: 1429219564. (required) - Molecular Model Kit: Models help with the visualization of the three-dimensional nature of organic molecules, an essential part of this course. Thus, access to a molecular model kit is required for all students in the course. (required) - Internet Access and Notebook Computer: This course requires all students to have Internet access. It is expected that students will monitor the course web page daily for important announcements. It is also expected that students will be able to access the on-line course content on the course1 server and D2L even when not on campus. (required) - Laboratory notebook: Each three-member lab team needs one of the 100-Page Top Bound Carbonless Laboratory Notebooks that are available at the bookstore. (required) *A note on textbook editions; you may be able to get through this course satisfactorily by using an earlier edition of one of the required textbooks. (For example, using the 2nd edition of Mohrig's Techniques in Organic Chemistry instead of the 3rd edition.) However, it will definitely take more work on your part to find specific reading assignments given during labs and lectures and in some places the coverage is significantly different between different editions....so use previous editions at your own risk. Homework: Learning Outcomes:
Grading: Four exams will be given, each counting 15% toward your final grade in the course. (Exam 4 is given during the time designated by the Registrar for the final exam. but is weighted equally with the other three exams.) Thus, exam grades count a total of 60% toward the course grade. Your score in the laboratory section of the course will contribute another 25% to the final grade. In summary, the point scheme to be used in determination of the final grade is Laboratory 25%, Quizzes 15%, Exams 15% each. Minimum Scores: Tentative Exam Dates and Coverage:
