Text: Janice Gorzynski Smith, Organic Chemistry, 4th ed., McGraw Hill, 2014
Study Guide: J. G. Smith and E. S. Berk, Student Study Guide and Solutions Manual for Organic Chemistry, 4th ed., McGraw Hill, 2014
Molecular Models: Available from the Department of Chemistry (JMH 642). Molecular models can be used during all exams
Lectures: Monday-Thursday, 9:00 a.m. - Noon; KE 319
Exams: Three exams and a cumulative final exam (see schedule below)
Grading: Three exams 70%; Final exam 30%
Course Grades: Course grades will be assigned relative to the overall class average (typically a C+) and will tentatively correspond to the following letter grade breakdown: A = 100-93; A- = 92-87; B+ = 86-80; B = 79-73; B- = 72-66; C+ = 65-59; C = 58-52; C- = 51-46; D = 45-39; F = < 38. This tentative breakdown is provided to give a general idea of your course grade as you proceed through the semester.
