General chemistry and at least one semester of organic chemistry are assumed as preparation. While no homework assignments will be collected, it is important that students work the problems at the end of each chapter. These questions or questions like them will appear on exams. Some of the problems will be discussed in class and on the course website. There will be three exams and a final.
Students are responsible for material discussed in all classes before an exam.
Exams will consist of short answers and are worth 100 points each. The final will be cumulative, worth 200 points. You will be unable to make-up unexcused exams. Excused absences are only those accompanied by documentation acceptable to the University. Make-up exams will take place by appointment.
