3 Chemistry 9 Fall Term 17 Organic Chemistry II Course Overview Course Instructor: Jonathan R. Scheerer jrscheerer@wm.edu Integrated Science Center 45 (office) (757) Office hours: Wed 10AM, evening review: Alternate Wed 8:30-10PM (Morton 0) preceding exam or quiz. Office hours may also be arranged by appointment. Course Objectives Course Eligibility: Course Meetings: MWF 10 AM The objective of the second semester of organic chemistry (chemistry 9) is to introduce students to a series of more advanced topics. The chemistry and reactivity (reactions) of different functional groups will be explored, with particular emphasis on carbonyl groups. Interconversion between different functional groups, reaction mechanism, and reactive intermediates will be discussed. Regular problem sets will be provided. Students must have taken the first semester of the organic sequence (chemistry 6) or an equivalent course. Lecture will be given in Small Hall (Room 110) from 10:00 10:50 AM on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Course Requirements: Hour exams (3 x 125 pts):* 375 pts (40 60%) Final exam:* 250 pts ( 40%) Problem Sets / Quizzes: 125 pts (%) Total Points* 625 points *Weighting Scheme: I want to grade you on your best effort. Accordingly, I will adhere to the following plan: at the completion of the course, your lowest mean-relative exam performance (125 points) will be dropped. This dropped exam grade may be one of your hour exams or one-half of your final. You cannot drop problem sets or quizzes. This plan provides you the opportunity to have the final exam count between % and 40% of your final grade. Approximate grade distributions for each exam will be announced in class. There will be three in-class hour-long exams, one administered roughly every four weeks. Exams will focus on recent topics. There will also be a three-hour comprehensive final exam. Problem Sets / Quizzes: Problem sets will be available one week in advance and will be due by the start of class on Friday. Problem sets will be completed online through Sapling Learning. I will post additional practice problems on Sapling. Although scored on a 100 point basis, each problem set will be worth 12 points. No late problem sets will be accepted. In class 12- minute quizzes (3) will be given periodically (Fridays, 2 weeks prior to exam dates) throughout the term. Each quiz will be scaled to 15 points. In total, 7 PS (7 x 12 = 84 pts), 3 quizzes (45 pts) = 10 assignments total (125 pts). [The 12 pt diagnostic exam (aka PS0) can serve to replace one missed assignment or a low assignment score]

4 Chemistry 9 Fall Term 17 Grading Class Attendance Disability Services Honor Code Textbooks: Online Homework Model Kits: Additional Material Extra Credit Opportunities Everybody likes BACON, another extra credit opportunity (see handout/bb) Final grades will be determined by the sum of your points throughout the semester by the following scale: A /A % B /B/B % C /C/C % Due to exam curving these thresholds may go down; they will not go up. In accord with College policy, class attendance is expected. See undergraduate catalog for more information. Please notify me of any absences by . Students with disabilities must contact disability services in the dean of students office. All students are bound by the Honor Code. Incidences of cheating will be reported to the Honor System. See the student handbook for more information on the Honor Code. Recommended: Organic Chemistry 8 th Edition. Brown, Foote, Iverson, Anslyn. Student Study Guide and Solutions Manual for Organic Chemistry, 8 th Ed. Brown, Foote, Iverson, Anslyn. You may also use the older 7 th ed, which is virtually unchanged in content (but graphics are somewhat altered). Homework and additional practice problems will be completed Sapling learning ( You can try this out for ~14 days (until add/drop) and you will then need to pay the access fee. Model kits are strongly recommended and may be used on exams. Any model kit will work, but if you will purchase one for orgo II, then I suggest the Bio-organic set from Maruzen (cat no 5000; ~$50) Will be posted on blackboard under lectures and readings. Additional material may also be placed on reserved at the library. Several opportunities exist for extra credit (and you should take full advantage of them). First, you may turn in the info sheet. You can attend any organic departmental seminar (which occur on Fridays at 3 pm). I will announce these lecture opportunities in class and/or on blackboard. You will earn 2-3 pts for attending each of these. Other opportunities may be possible throughout the semester. What does BACON stand for? Biology And Chemistry Online Notes What does BACON teach? BACON shows students that organic chemistry is all around them. BACON connects organic chemistry to things like biology, real world applications, and even pop culture. Watch the video embedded here to learn more about BACON: Is BACON difficult for students? BACON is designed to be a low stress and fun way for students to gain a greater appreciation for organic chemistry and the remarkable impact it has on our everyday lives. I will be advising the class when a BACON tutorial aligns with what we are learning in class. Signing up for BACON and completion of each tutorial (~8 for orgo II) will give you insight and 1 pt EC each. There is a small cost ($5) for administration of the program. Pin# WM9JS
