QUIZZES:
Short (5~10 minute) quizzes will be given on the days
denoted by the symbol 
. These quizzes will cover the
prior week's assigned reading material, homework, molecular modeling, syntheses
of the week and spectra assignments. If you understand the material, the quizzes
will be easy and will take very little time. Don't think you will be able to
figure it out during a quiz, you won't! Quizzes will only be given at the
beginning of the period. No makeup or late
quizzes will be given. One quiz will be thrown out and the remainder will be normalized to a total of 100 points.
HOMEWORK:
You
are expected to have completed the reading assignment given for a particular
date before coming to lecture on that date. The homework problems are intended
to be completed after the lecture and will be due on the dates listed. Working the assigned
homework problems is essential to success in organic chemistry. These
assignments will be graded by the instructor. In working the
homework assignments, it is best to have read the textbook and studied the
lecture material first. Try to work each problem as if it were a question on a
quiz or examination. If you cannot answer the problem correctly, go back and reread the
text and your lecture notes pertaining to the topic.
CLASS POLICIES:
It
is your responsibility to be present at the times scheduled for
exams. THERE WILL BE NO MAKEUP EXAMS GIVEN IN THIS COURSE.
The Final exam will only be given on the day it is scheduled. If you must miss an exam due to illness, the course grade will be determined by
substituting the score for the final exam for the exam missed. Cheating is a serious offense. If you
cheat on any quiz, assignment or exam, the minimum penalty is a grade of zero
for that work. Your conduct may also be referred to the Student Conduct Committee
for assessment of a more severe penalty.
