Winter 2001
Tuesday, Thursday 10:00 - 11:45 am, Classroom Unit II
Professor: Dr. Rebecca Braslau
Office: Thimann 337, phone: 459-3087,
e-mail: braslau@chemistry.ucsc.edu
Office Hours: TBA
Teaching Assistants: TBA
ACE: TBA
Discussion Sections: Homework is to be turned in and returned at your discussion section. Attendance and participation in your discussion section will be considered in your final evaluation.
Required Materials:
John McMurry, Organic Chemistry, 5th edition, Brooks/Cole
Publishing Co.: Pacific Grove, CA, 2000
Susan McMurry, Study Guide and Solutions Manual for Organic
Chemistry, 5th edition, Brooks/Cole Publishing Co.: Pacific
Grove, CA, 2000
A molecular model kit (any brand)
E-mail: A current e-mail address is required. Announcements, corrections and assignments will be sent to you by e-mail. You are responsible for anything announced by e-mail just as if it were announced in lecture. There will be a web page at (TBA) for the class. Questions on course material can be sent to the Prof. Braslau at braslau@chemistry by e-mail, although I strongly encourage you to come to office hours in person when possible.
Assignments and Exams: A list of assigned problems will be handed out at the beginning of the quarter, to be turned in at the designated dates. Since you will have the solution manual, the problems should be completed and corrected before being turned in for credit. The neatness and correctness of the original answers will not be of concern, rather the completeness in doing the assigned problems will be.
I strongly encourage you to make use of the office hours and
discussion sections to discuss problems, exercises, or concepts that
are not clear. Two 1-3/4 hour exams (100 pts each) are tentatively
scheduled to take place on February 6 and February 27.
The Final Exam (200 pts) will be held Sunday, March 18, from
12-3 pm as determined in the schedule of courses. If you have
documented disability-related accommodation requests, please see me
during office hours at least three weeks before each exam. All
students should plan to be here for the exams: No make-up
exams will be administered. Please Note: Cheating on exams will
absolutely not be tolerated. No "warnings" will be given.
