Supplement to Instruction
(S2I): Instructor Led Learning
(ILL): Monday 5:00-6:00 PM Required/Recommended Materials* - Organic Chemistry, 2nd ed by David R. Klein; Wiley, 2013. ISBN-10: 1118454316 (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) - Mobile Internet Access and Piazza: It is expected that students will monitor the course Piazza 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 student needs one of the 100-Page Top Bound Carbon-ess 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 and Quizzes: In addition, the on-line homework
system, WileyPlus, provides numerous opportunities for
study and practice. The instructor will create a WileyPlus assignment after each lecture and you
will receive modest grade credit for completing these
assignments in advance of designated due dates. More practice will be afforded to
you by quizzes, which will be given at the start of each
lecture.These quizzes count somewhat toward your grade
in the course, but their main purpose is to give you
practice on the most recent material and to provide
take-off points for the day's lecture. The main goal of all the homework and quizzes is to allow you to do well on the exams that will form the main basis for your grade in the course. Learning Outcomes:
Commitment to Inclusive
Excellence: Grading: The WileyPlus assignments count 5% toward your grade. Four midterm exams will be given.
Each counts 10%. The final exam counts 20%. Your score in the laboratory counts
25%. In equation form: Quiz Make-Up Policy: If you notify me in advance that you must miss a quiz for a compelling personal or academic reason, then you will be allowed to make it up at a mutually agreed upon time. 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: Planned Exam Dates and Coverage:
