Optional Instructor Led Learning Sessions: Monday 4:00-5:00 in Pasteur 329 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) - WileyPLUS access. (This on-line learning site comes with the Klein bundle being sold at the bookstore.) (required) - 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 all on-line course content 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. Make sure to purchase the lab notebooks specific to Dr. Nalli's 350 sections. (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: In addition, the on-line homework system, WileyPLUS, provides numerous opportunities for study and practice. The instructor will create a WileyPLUS assignment for each chapter in Klein and you will receive modest grade credit for completing these assignments in advance of designated due dates. The main goal of all homework is to allow you to do well on the graded quizzes and exams that will form the main basis for your grade in the course. Therefore, it should be of great benefit to make every effort to keep up to date with both the WileyPLUS and the book assignments. Learning Outcomes:
Commitment to Inclusive Excellence: Grading: The WileyPLUS assignments count 5% toward your grade. Four exams will be given, each counting 15% toward your grade. Your score in the laboratory counts 25%. Quiz Make-Up Policy: Regarding missed quizzes due to oversleeping or other poor excuses: I will allow one make up of such a quiz and it must be done on the same day the quiz was given. Additional absences will mean a score of zero. The lowest three quiz grades are dropped. Minimum Scores: Tentative Exam Dates and Coverage:
