Section Description
Chemistry 1500 is an Organic Chemistry course for second year chemistry and biochemistry majors who have completed the General Chemistry coursework, or first year majors who have strong backgrounds in High School chemistry. Organic chemistry is the study of carbon-based molecules. In this course we discuss the basic principles of organic chemistry including structure and bonding of organic molecules, acidity, electron pushing, and stereochemistry. We also discuss some of the fundamental principles of reactivity and discuss reactions of alkenes and alkyl halides.
Section Expectation
The course grade is based on take home quizzes, three examinations, a cumulative final examination, and a laboratory grade. (Note: You must earn a passing grade in the laboratory to receive a passing grade for the course. More than two laboratories missed for any reason will result in a failing grade for the course unless you are granted an incomplete by your Dean).
