Discussion Sections: Each student should attend the discussion section in which they are enrolled. Quizzes
will be given, but scores will not be directly added to the course total. Instead, they
may be used to raise course grades in borderline cases.
Grading:

Letter grades are not assigned for individual exams. There are no make-up exams or
exams administered at times other than scheduled for the entire class. Incomplete
given only for C grade or better and emergency excuse for missing final.
Cheating is not tolerated. The Dean of Students handles all cases of cheating.
Special Notice:
This class is impacted so it may not be dropped after the second week of a term for
other than extenuating circumstances.
Topics to be covered
Covalent Bonding and Shapes of Molecules
Alkanes and Cycloalkanes
Stereoisomerism and Chirality
Acids and Bases
Alkenes, Reactions of Alkenes
Alkynes
Haloalkanes, Halogenation, and Radical Reactions
Nucleophilic Substitution and -Elimination

Additional recommendations for reading, problems, and exercises will be made during
lectures. Material from General Chemistry is assumed to be common knowledge. Exam
questions will be derived from assigned reading, problems and (especially) lectures.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Attend all lectures
Lecture material is very important for this class.
Attend assigned discussion sections.
Read all assigned readings.
Work through all assigned problems.
Learn all new material when it is presented.
Study daily.
Do not get behind in studying.
Review class material weekly.
Do not leave learning new material until immediately before an exam.
The best way to learn is by repetitive problem solving and observing common themes.
One way to find out if you KNOW the material is to explain it to someone else.
Material for this class, and the Organic Chemistry series, is cumulative.
