ISBN 978-1119110477 or 978-1119444251 or 978-1119340577 (ebook or loose-leaf or ring bound)- Student Study Guide and Solutions Manual to Accompany Organic Chemistry, 3rd ed. by David R. Klein. (A copy is available for checkout at the reserve desk in the library.) (recommended) - Achieve on-line learning (provided via inclusive access through D2L-Brightspace (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) (required) - Laboratory notebook: A bound composition notebook purchased from the bookstore will suffice. If you have a laboratory notebook from a previous chemistry course with pages left in it you may also use that. (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 Klein's 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, Achieve,
provides numerous opportunities for study and practice.
The instructor will post an Achieve assignment shortly
after each lecture and you will receive modest grade
credit (5%) 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 (10%) 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 Achieve 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:
