PREREQUISITE: Organic Chemistry I with a C or better

CLASS: 1. Lecture - It meets three times a week (MTW). General topics with examples are first presented. 2. Discussion - It meets once a week for 50 minutes in small groups. Here, topics and problems are discussed. This is where quizzes and most alternate/online assignments are given. This is where you pick up and review your exams. 3. Exams - Will be given as indicated in the class schedule. PURPOSE OF THE COURSE: Organic chemistry is one of the most interesting and practical areas of chemistry. Many of the materials we handle each day are products of organic chemistry. Living systems are also organic in nature, so organic chemistry gives a foundation for understanding chemical reactions in living organisms. The two-course sequence (Organic I & II) is viewed as a unit and is an introduction to organic chemistry. The course is really about training you to think like a scientist, just in the context of organic chemistry. This means that nomenclature and structure drawing are about communication skills. Structure characterization and determination is about how we know what we know, which applies to diagnosis, etc. Reaction mechanisms are about understanding trends and being able to predict patterns and behavior. Synthesis is about the power of taking knowledge of reactions and using it to create the conditions to get what you want, which is the heart of applied science (and dating, politics, and life in general). Course material will be available online at https://my.usf.edu

To do well in Organic Chemistry, you must become actively engaged in the course. A passive attempt at learning this subject will not result in a grade you would like to receive.
PRACTICE PROBLEMS: There is only one way to acquire an understanding of organic chemistry solving problems. It is absolutely essential to work as many problems as possible. The problems in the text should be done as you read the chapter and the problems at the end of the chapter afterwards to reinforce your class work. One should work all the problems in each assigned chapter. Do not use the solution manual to answer questions, and only use it to check answers that you think are correct. If you cannot solve a problem, first reread the relevant part of the chapter. EVALUATION: If a student intends to be absent from a class or announced examination for an approved reason as noted in the Undergraduate Catalog- the student must notify the instructor at the beginning of the academic term to qualify for a makeup exam/quiz (NO EXCEPTIONS). All excused absences require timely notification AND proper documentation. I will determine the validity of the excuse and the documentation for the absence must be provided to me in a timely fashion.

Grading:
1. Exams - There are four scheduled exams. Organic chemistry is a cumulative subject and what you learn in one chapter will be used in subsequent chapters. For this reason, tests are cumulative even though the normal exams will emphasize current topics. The best three out of four normal exam scores will be used to determine the 66% of the final course grade. To take exams you must be registered in the course and bring a USF student ID to the exam room, No Exceptions!!! 2. Final Exam is worth a total of 24% of the final course grade. THE CUMULATIVE FINAL EXAM IS MANDATORY AND WILL NOT BE DROPPED. 3. Quizzes - Short written quizzes will be given during the discussion sections, and one should be prepared for a quiz each week. The quizzes will be on material that has been previously covered in the lecture and/or reading assignments. The lowest quiz will be dropped.

4. Online Assignments The average of all online Wiley-plus assignments. 5. Science Literature Project An exercise to further familiarize students with chemistry literature. NO LATE literature projects will be accepted. They are due at the beginning of class on April 15, 2013. Your grade will be based on the following weighted average: Exams the best 3 out of 4 exams (66% = 3 exams at 22% each) Final Exam (24%) Quizzes given in your discussion section: the best 8 of 9 quizzes (6%) Wiley-Plus online assignments (2.5%) Science literature project (1.5%). I will assign grades on the following basis: Grading Scale: A+ 95-100% B+ 80-84% C+ 65-69% D 45-54% F 0-44 % A B C 90-94% 75-79% 60-64% ABC85-89% 70-74% 55-59%

Notice: It is important that you review your graded exam/quiz and check it for grading errors during the Discussion Section, and only at this time. If mathematical errors are found in adding the points on your exam, you may request your exam be reviewed. You may also request a review at this time if there are questions regarding errors in grading. However, if you ask for re-grading of a question, the entire exam will be re-graded and the final score may be higher or lower than the original as a result of the regrading. Exams will be given back for review during the following discussion period. You are not allowed to have any writing implement available during the exam review to eliminate exam alterations. Everything should be put away. Please make certain your exam is correctly graded and review it for mathematical errors. If you believe there is an error, then let your TA know. At the end of the review, anyone wishing for a regrade/check will need to pass their exams in until the end of class when they can be reviewed individually for errors. After reviewing during that period, no further adjustments will be made (NO EXCEPTIONS). Any changes made to exams requesting regrades will be viewed as academic dishonesty and dealt with as such. Always check Blackboard after exam grades are posted in case of a grade input error in the Blackboard grade book. Please bring any input error to my attention as soon as you notice it and the correct score will be verified and updated by your TA. Notice: No I grades will be given without valid documented reasons. The University policy on incomplete grades will be followed. An I grade indicates incomplete coursework and may be awarded to an undergraduate student only when a small portion of the students work is incomplete and only when the student is otherwise earning a passing grade.). S-U Policy contracts must be negotiated in writing within the first week of the term. Notice: I will not support late withdrawal and no late drop form will be signed after the

drop deadline has passed.

As of 12/28/12, the registrars calendar indicates that: Saturday March 23, 2013 = Last day to drop with a W; no refund & no academic penalty from Spring 2013 **Keep in mind that if you wait until the last minute that you may/may not be able to drop the course and keep the lab or vice-versa without assistance from your adviser and advisers are out of their offices on Saturdays. If you think you MIGHT want to drop, please contact an adviser in advance so that you will have the option to go through with it if you choose to when the drop date nears. ACADEMIC DISHONESTY: DISRUPTIONS/DISTRACTIONS IN THE CLASSROOM WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. YOU MUST FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN IN THE CLASS ROOM. Electronic copies of the Graded exams may be kept and can/will be used for comparison purpose in case of a perceived alteration

of the graded exam. Any attempts to cheat on examinations (or quizzes) will result in a zero for that exam, and possibly an F for the course depending upon severity of the cheating. Students receiving an F as a result of the academic misconduct will receive an FF on his or her record, and will be brought to the attention of the Deans Office for further actions (including possible expulsion from the university). Please consult University guidelines. ATTENDANCE POLICY: Attendance to all class sessions is required, and may be monitored without advance notice. FOR EVERY FOUR ABSENCES IN THE LECTURE THE GRADE MAY BE DROPPED BY ONE LETTER GRADE. If any class session is missed, it is the responsibility of the student to find out if any assignment or schedule changes were made during the missed session. SPECIAL ACCOMMODATIONS: Any student with a disability should meet with the instructor privately during the first week of class to discuss accommodations. Each student must bring a current Memorandum of Accommodations from the Office of Student Disability Services that is prerequisite for receiving accommodations. Accommodated examinations through the Office of Student Disability Services require a two weeks notice.

NOTICE TO ALL STUDENTS:

Notice1. Any announcements made in class meetings will supercede information provided in this document; it is the responsibility of the student to find out if any policy or schedule changes were made during the missed class meetings. Notice 2. In accordance with the University policy on observance of religious holy days, Students who anticipate the necessity of being absent from class due to the observation of a major religious observance must provide notice of the date(s) to the instructor, in writing, by the second class meeting. Notice 3. Sale of the lecture notes or course materials (in any format) is prohibited. Notice 4. The instructor/TA will keep uncollected exams/ assignments for a period of no longer than 2 weeks from the date of completion of the grading of the exam/ assignment. Notice 5. Disruptions/distractions, of any kind, in the class will not be tolerated. For such behavior expulsion from the class (or course) may result. Notice 6. Permission must be obtained prior to recording any part (in any format) of the

class lecture. If permission is granted it MAY NOT be published or shared in any form. It will ONLY be allowed for personal use.
TIPS: I feel it is essential that you are aware of the large course content in organic chemistry. So THE PACE IS RAPID! As a result of the rapid pace you will need to keep up EVERYDAY. I suggest the following: 1. Briefly scan the chapter in the text before coming to the lecture. This will acquaint you with terminology, etc. 2. Directly after the lecture attempt to work the problems so as to uncover difficulties. 3. In the discussion/quiz sections you can bring up specific problems you are having trouble with. You will have a quiz each discussion section. 4. Remember as you study, to always write out your reactions, structures and answers to the questions. Only in this way will you retain the material. Do this as you read the text also, i.e., work in-chapter problems as you read. If you can't do the problem, then go back and read the preceding material again. GOOD LUCK!!!
