The goal of this course is to develop a comprehensive and cohesive understanding of organic structure and reactivity. Except under extraordinary circumstances, I will not give make-up exams. Generally, if you have a documented reason for missing an exam, I will weight the final exam to allow you to accumulate the points you missed. I've restructured this course with many small exams. Organic Chem III will be a challenging course.
Students are responsible for all course material previously covered in the chemistry sequence.
I like to engage students in the material. Be alert, I will call on you to quickly answer a question. I am interested in meeting with each of the students during my course. Please feel free to show-up at my office hour, or make an appointment if you so desire. I look forward to your input regarding the progress this course during the semester.
