2 INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES Students will be expected to develop the following skills upon successful completion of the course: - Develop a sound foundation in the vocabulary of organic chemistry, nomenclature of organic substances, and physical and chemical properties of organic substances - Understand and use the basic concepts of organic chemistry: The reactions of alkenes and alkynes. Isomers and stereochemistry. Delocalized electrons and their effect on stability and reactivity. - Know how to develop critical thinking in organic chemistry. - Demonstrate an understanding on how to conduct appropriate organic chemistry experiments in the laboratory; learn the basic lab operations in organic synthesis. 2/6

4 COURSE PREPARATION AL AKHAWAYN UNIVERSITY The assigned homeworks are meant to give a good overview of the material covered. You do not need to hand them in, but it would be a serious mistake not to do them. Solving problems is the way you learn the material and the way you find out if you really understand what you have read and heard in class. GRADING The assessment of student progress and performance will be done through quizzes, class participation and examinations during the whole semester. One midterm exam and one comprehensive final exam are scheduled during this semester. The final course grade is based on points accumulated from the different evaluation procedures as follows: Evaluation Procedure Grade Contribution (%) Attendance 5 Class participation 5 Quizzes 15 Midterm 1 15 Midterm 2 15 Project 15 Final Examination 30 Additional Readings (available in the Library): Textbook K.

5 ACADEMIC INTEGRITY The University s statement on academic integrity is found in AUI Catalog and Student Handbook: It is the aim of the AUI faculty to foster a spirit of honesty and a high standard of integrity. The attempt of students to present as their own any work which they have not produced is a most serious offense and makes the offenders subject to serious consequences, including suspension. The instructor is responsible for initiating action for dishonesty or plagiarism that occurs in his/her class. In cases where there is convincing evidence of academic dishonesty, plagiarism, or falsification, the instructor should take appropriate action. Before taking such action, however, the instructor should discuss the matter with the student involved. Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, cheating, plagiarism, collusion, falsifying academic records, misrepresenting facts, and any act designed to give unfair academic advantage to the student (such as, but not limited to, submission of essentially the same written assignment for two courses without the prior permission of the instructor) or the attempt to commit such an act. Examinations are to assess what you know individually; cheating on an exam will result in a score of 0 (zero) for the test. Cases of academic dishonesty will be reported to the SSE Dean s Office. Students with serious or multiple violations may be referred to the Student Disciplinary Committee for further discipline. In this course, you are expected to act in a manner consistent with the behavior expected in the professional workplace. Respect each other, come to class prepared, be supportive of others, be attentive, contribute when appropriate, and be engaged in your learning. Civility is expected and assumed. In order for everyone to have the opportunity to maximize learning, inappropriate or disruptive behavior is prohibited and may result in a request to leave the classroom at a minimum. Examples include, but are not limited to, using cell phones in class, texting in class, excessive tardiness or late arrivals, demanding special treatment, challenges to the instructor s authority, leaving class early, shuffling backpacks and book bags, using offensive language or remarks, chewing gum, wearing caps, prolonged side discussions, playing games in class, sleeping, overt inattentiveness, and using a laptop during class unless instructed to do so. 5/6
