Chemistry
[CHEM-001C] [CHEM-108B]
1C.
General Chemistry
Instructor:
Frank Andrews
Office: 317 Thimann, 459-2776
E-mail: andrews@chemistry.ucsc.edu
Course Description:
This is the third and final quarter of our general chemistry sequence. The prerequisite is CHEM 1B or equivalent (contact Cheryl Lira, lira@chemistry.ucsc.edu, with questions about prerequisite).
The text is Silberberg, 3rd edition, with which most of you are familiar. We plan to cover, in this order, the following material in the text: section 5.8, chapters 16, 17, 18, 19, 6, 20, 21, and 24.
There will be a required reader, available from the Bay Tree Bookstore. It will contain assignments, extensive lecture notes, exam questions that I used for the course last year, and other material of value. I suggest that you bring it to lectures, so you can take what notes you want directly on it.
Please note: Most students find CHEM 1C to be the most challenging and the most work of the three quarters of CHEM 1. As you plan your schedule for the winter term, please keep that in mind.
Most of you will probably be taking the lab, CHEM 1N, also, during this winter quarter. Both CHEM 1C and 1N will be taught in the spring quarter as well.

Instructor:
Rebecca Braslau
Office: Thimann 337, tel. 459-3087
E-mail: braslau@chemistry.ucsc.edu
Office Hours: Mon., 11:00 a.m.-noon; Wed. 1:00 p.m.-2:00 p.m.
Teaching Assistants: 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," 6th edition, Brooks/Cole Publishing Co.: Pacific Grove, CA, 2000; Susan McMurry, "Study Guide and Solutions Manual for Organic Chemistry," 6th 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 is a web page at http://chemistry.ucsc.edu/teaching/Winter_03/Chem108B/index.html for the class. Questions on course material can be sent to Prof. Braslau at braslau@chemistry.ucsc.edu 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) will take place on February 5
and March 2. The Final Exam (200 pts) will be held on March
15. 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.
In order to pass the class, you must pass the final cumulative exam. Grades will be determined by considering exam points, homework performance, discussion section performance, and an evaluation of your arrow-pushing abilities as demonstrated in your final exam. You must be able to push electrons in a reasonable fashion to pass this class.
