Chem222:  ORGANIC CHEMISTRY II - Fall 2007

 

Syllabus & readings list:   F2007 syllabus

   Important information:  textbook, topics, schedule, lab information, etc.

 

 

Exams:

 

   Midterm exams:  F2007 midterm exam -- solutions (Ch. 10, 12, 13)

                                         

   Lab exams:        Multiple choice, short answer & diagrams/naming

                             (Samples not available)

                              Study relevant “Operations” from Lehman’s laboratory textbook

 

   Final exams:   F2007 final exam (not available now)  – solutions (not available now)

                       

 

Problem Sets:   

 

ONLY doing Problem Sets will NOT be sufficient to prepare yourself for examinations.  Make sure you regularly work through problems from the textbook.  You will find solutions to ALL the end-of-chapter problems in the Study Guide, so make good use of it to help you learn how to deal with organic chemistry problems (which means:  do the problems yourself, then check your answer.  Do NOT just read the solutions manual – that approach will give you a completely false sense of confidence because you will not learn how to solve problems without struggling through them yourself).

 

    Problem sets:     F2007 PSet #1, spectra5A, spectra5B – solutions

                              F2007 PSet #2 – solutions

                             

 

A note about the lecture format:

This course was taught using Powerpoint and the blackboard.  Lecture notes (.pdf’s of Powerpoint slides) are available on the moodle website before class.  I suggest you bring print-outs of the slides to class, so you can focus your attention on listening & taking notes on explanations and examples rather than copying down the slides.
