Regular attendance is expected but not monitored. Materials not covered in the text will be introduced in class, and some materials covered in the text will be covered more extensively in class. Announcements will be made concerning the limitations and extent of exam coverage in class. Additional exercises will be assigned in class which may be exam-relevant.
Scholastic dishonesty will not be tolerated and will
be prosecuted to the fullest extent. You are expected to have
read and understood the current issue of General Information
Catalog, published by the Registrar's Office, for information
about procedures and about what constitutes scholastic dishonesty].
- This section of sophomore organic has a rather strong emphasis on mechanistic and theoretical aspects of organic chemistry . Synthetic organic chemistry is developed extensively, but rote memorization of reactions is minimized. Resonance theory and molecular orbital theory are both used at a basic level to understand interactions and reactions.
- Drops without penalty (Q drops) are permitted up to a time one week later than the first 2 hour exam.
- Regrade requests must be handed in within one week of the date on which the student receives the graded exam. The procedure is to attach a sheet of paper to the exam indicating which questions are at issue and what the issues are. The student is expected to have consulted the published exam key before handing in the regrade request. The exam and the cover sheet are then handed to the TA or the instructor. We reserve the right to regrade the entire exam, of course.
